Air always flows from high-pressure to low-pressure areas. This allows the meteorologist to predict wind direction and speed.
Meteorologists are not always wrong.
Cumulus cloud often do indicate fair weather, but not always. Under the right conditions cumulus clouds can develop into thunderstorms.
It is difficult for meteorologists to predict the weather a month in advance because of the so-called "Butterfly Effect". The teeniest change in the weather can mean that the weather for the following week could be completely different. There are so many things that contribute to the weather, and these things are changing all of the time. Interpreting all this information is difficult. The best they can do is about 10 days in advance, and even that is not always going to be accurate. Lots of unexpected or unpredictable things can happen. They can even get tomorrow's forecast wrong, so it is impossible to know what it will be like in a month. The weather that will happen then hasn't even formed yet.
Australia's weather is exactly the same as everyone else's. Except more EXTREME

a "meteorologist" can make a significant range of money depending on where they work, what type of degrees/credentials they have, how successful their career work has been and how popular they are (popularity most important for a television broadcast meteorologist)..A new meteorologist starting out in tv may only make 10 to 15 thousand a year, while a veteran tv meteorologist can make hundreds of thousands per year. National Weather Service, the private sector, teaching, legal and research positions always have a signficantly wide range of possible income.

The weather changes in relation to the air pressure. Air molecules always travel towards low pressure where there is less force acting on them. This has an effect on the weather. Generally, high pressure means good weather and low pressure means bad weather. Barometers measure the pressure, often in Hectopascals.
Meteorologists exist so that we may understand how the changes in atmosphere effect the weather, and ultimately, us. While it is true that nature is not always predictable, those studying subtle changes and predict the outcome are to be praised. Sometimes it can be guessing work but even if the prediction is incorrect, the area that could have been effected was ready for the worst.
Generally speaking, a 10 day weather forecast is somewhat correct. Although the future isn't clear, a meteorologist can always see the patterns of the wind flow and can traditionally track it based on that alone. Hundreds of years worth of science has gone into the weather and it's become so simplified that computers can now handle the expectations of what weather is yet to come.
The weather in Majorca is awful. It always rains and its always stormy.
