The recommendation system is an intelligent system gives recommendations to users to discover the best interesting items. The purpose of this proposed recommendation system is to develop a system to find the best electrical devices according to weather conditions and user preferences. The proposed solution relies on the characteristics of electrical appliances and their suitability to weather conditions in any city. The proposed solution is the first recommendation system combines devices properties, weather conditions, and user preferences using a new combination of algorithms. The clustering algorithms are the most applicable in the field of recommendation system. The proposed solution relies on a combination of Elbow method, proposed modified K-means and Silhouette algorithm to find the best number of clusters before starting the clustering process. Then calculate the weights for each cluster and compare them with the weather weights to find the required clusters sorted from the near to far according to a computed threshold. The empirical results showed that the proposed solution demonstrated a 94% accuracy to match the characteristics of the recommended devices with the climatic characteristics of the region and user preferences. The accuracy is measured using Silhouette algorithm.
