Weather Forecasting
In researching this project I was amazed to find the many books
on this topic. After going through much information and reading an
enormous amount of writing on weather forecasting I can only come to

satellite imagery for all countries. Also in recent history many local
television and radio stations have made private forecasts for small
areas.

they interpret what is in front of them can be different. Meteorologists
receive information from various sources, but their interpretation of
the data determines the accuracy of their prediction.
Someone might ask, 'If forecasters have so much information on
a particular area; how could they predict a...
