Characterized by their high spatiotemporal variability, rainfalls are difficult to predict, especially under climate change. This study proposes a multilayer perceptron (MLP) network optimized by Genetic Algorithm (GA), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Firefly Algorithm (FFA), and Teleconnection P...
