Rainfall plays an important role in life and is closely related to other weather elements. Rainfall data is used for various purposes, including flood and drought risk mitigation and water resource planning. Makassar City has significant rainfall variability and requires accurate forecasting to manage its negative impacts. This study aims to predict rainfall in Makassar City from January 2021 to May 2023. The methods used are Threshold Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity (TGARCH) and Exponential Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity (EGARCH). The results showed that the ARMA (2,1)-GARCH (1,2) model had MAPE and RMSEP values of 1.234 and 33.411, respectively. The ARMA (2,1)-TGARCH (2,1) model had MAPE and RMSEP values of 1.330 and 29.357, respectively. The ARMA (2,1)-EGARCH (1,2) model has MAPE and RMSEP values of 0.924 and 32.641, respectively. The smallest MAPE and RMSEP values are in the ARMA (2,1)-EGARCH (1,2) model. Thus, the ARMA (2,1)-EGARCH (1,2) model was selected as the best or optimal model for rainfall forecasting in Makassar City.
