A highly complex and technologically supported process is used to forecast weather. Information from human observation, satellite imagery, radar and computers is combined to attempt to predict coming weather systems. A comprehensive understanding of the components that influence weather systems is required to be able to predict and understand how weather systems work. The activities below provide a simplified experience of weather forecasting and the components that influence weather.
