The existence of extreme weather that is difficult to predict results in frequent hydrometeorological disasters. ARIMA is a prediction method that can capture trend patterns, seasonal cycles, and random fluctuations that are often found in patterned data. Although many samples of rain data collection points are needed to produce denser data, one point can be considered to represent an area that is not too large, such as Semarang City. This method is quite accurate for short-term forecasts, with the results of monthly maximum rainfall forecasts in 2023 showing varying MAPE values. For the 12-month forecast, prediction results range from fair to very accurate. The 7-month forecast also shows decent to very accurate results. However, the 5-month forecast shows less accurate results. This shows that ARIMA can be a useful method in forecasting monthly maximum rainfall, especially during the dry season. The application of ARIMA in Semarang City can help in planning hydrometeorological disaster mitigation, considering that the Semarang City area often experiences extreme weather that is difficult to predict. Thus, the use of ARIMA can provide significant benefits in preparing for and reducing the impact of hydrometeorological disasters in the region. In addition, with more accurate forecasts, the government and society can take preventative steps earlier, such as better water management, creating an adequate drainage system, and increasing public awareness of the threat of disasters. Therefore, this research emphasizes the importance of using reliable prediction methods such as ARIMA to improve preparedness in dealing with hydrometeorological disasters.
