Why is accuracy in predicting the weather important?
Are weather predictions always accurate?- lets talk about forecasts
What is Meteorology?The collection, study, analysis, and reporting of weather data.
People that study the weather are called Meteorologist.
What are some things that Meteorologist do?Data CollectionInformation from weather stations are collected and turned into models, maps and symbols. Here is an example of a weather symbol
