How we predict the Weather

What tools do meteorologists use to measure temperature?

• Barometers

• Thermometers

• Anemometers

• Hygrometers

What is the role of computer models in weather prediction?

• They make predictions less accurate

• They calculate outcomes quickly

• They are not used in weather prediction

• They only predict sunny weather

What is the main challenge in predicting the weather?

• Lack of technology

• Many different interactions cause weather

• Weather is always the same

• No need for predictions

What is one reason weather predictions are not perfect?

• Weather is simple

• Scientists have a perfect method

• Weather involves many interactions

• Predictions are always wrong

What do meteorologists enter into computer models?

• Random numbers

• Current conditions

• Future predictions

• Historical data only

One basic tool used by meteorologists is a (a)  

• Microscope
• Thermometer
• Telescope
• Calculator

What is the main goal of weather prediction?

• To make perfect predictions

• To get as close as possible to actual weather

• To predict only sunny days

• To ignore past weather events

Match the following tools and methods with their usage in meteorology.

• Not used in meteorology

• Basic tools and careful observation

• Used alongside technology for accurate forecasting

• Only computer models

• Used for understanding past weather trends

• Only historical data

• Used for simulating weather patterns

• No tools at all

What is the benefit of using computer models in weather forecasting?

• They slow down predictions

• They make predictions more accurate

• They are not beneficial

• They only predict rain

What is one thing meteorologists have learned over time?

• Weather is always the same

• To connect certain factors with weather types

• Predictions are always perfect

• Weather cannot be studied
