WEATHER FORECAST
A weather forecast is simply a scientific
estimate of future weather condition.
Weather condition is the state of the
atmosphere at a given time expressed in
terms of the most significant weather
variables.

The significant weather variables being


forecast differ from place to place.

In the Philippines, the weather parameters


with significant variation and therefore of
interest to the users of the forecast are

cloudiness, rainfall and wind.
How is a Weather Forecast
Made?
Weather forecasting is a complex
process that involves gathering data,
analyzing atmospheric conditions, and
using computer models to predict
future weather patterns.

Meteorologists rely on a combination of


observations, satellite imagery, radar
data, and numerical weather models to
create accurate forecasts
