| Climate and weather take an essential position in our lives. Climate determines the environmental conditions, fauna, flora and plenty of other things. For instance, equatorial area is known for luxuriant vegetation and high humidity. It is logical that living conditions there will differ from arctic area. As distinct from climate weather presents conditions of the atmosphere during a short period. Conditions of weather significantly differ depending on the season. But even during one season they can be different. Changes in weather have an effect not just on our clothing, but our activity as well. For example, if you are planning to spend a day out of doors, unexpected rain may overset your plans. That's where forecasts of weather are of great help. Weather forecasting is scientifically-proved supposition about the conditions of weather in the nearest future. It concerns a definite place and a definite period. Since the earliest times people used to assume the development of weather, but official forecasts were created only in the 19th century. Weather forecasts represent a result of collecting quantitative data about the current atmospheric state. Using scientific conception of atmospheric processes it becomes possible to project how the weather will change. There are various kinds of weather forecasts according to their period. Short-term forecasts are made up to 36 hours. The longest forecasts may represent a period of three or more months. The accuracy of weather forecasts is in inverse proportion to their period. Thus, short-term weather forecasts are the most accurate. It'll be interesting to learn that the first weather forecast was showed on TV in England on the 11th of November, 1936. Today forecasts of weather are easily available not only on television and radio, but in the World Wide Web as well. You get a possibility to get to know weather forecast for any period of time in any point in the world. Forecasts of weather are of great help in planning – everything from the clothes to wear tomorrow to when it's the best time to go on vacation. |
