Why are weather maps important?

Answer 1

Importance of Weather Maps- Forecasts from weather map are useful in the following way:

1. With the help of weather maps, weather forecast is possible. These forecasts are published in newspapers, broadcasted through Akashvani and television. Efforts are made to provide safety and security to the people from natural calamities like excessive rain, inadequate rain, earthquake, hailstorm, storm and snowfall etc.

2. The forecasts made on the basis of weather map help in taking safety measures in navigation, aeroplane flights, and ill effects of drought and help in proper care of agriculture.

Answer 2

Weather patterns are usually associated with air masses. Air masses are the most important topic of weather patterns. For example, I live in southern Japan and we are influenced by the maritime tropical (Mt) air mass during the summer, also known as the western pacific high. Areas of the world also have monsoons, which for us is the north-west monsoon that brings us rain from around February until early June. There is a great deal to learn about weather patterns, another example is the jet streams, troughs, and ridges. Many things play into a local weather pattern, if you want to find out about your local weather patters, all you need to do is look at your area's climotology information. That will give you a general idea of what weather is like throughout the year, you can also research for a local area forecaster's handbook. Hope this helps, part of my job is weather and all the information provided above is not referenced, but there is much more to understand and learn about patterns than just the basics.
