How can you predict rain?

Weather forecasters take a look at surface data, upper air data, surface maps, and upper air maps to make a weather forecast. Satellite observations of weather systems are also used. Separate weather instruments used to forecast weather are barometers (which measure air pressure) thermometers (to measure temperatures) anemometer (to measure wind speed) hydrometers (to measure humidity) and more. It is rather difficult to predict the weather. The answer above is how meteorologists used to try and predict weather patterns. It was a very crude method. Today meteorologists use numerical equations and algorithms solved by super-computers to predict the weather. A fairly good method of forecasting can come from pattern recognition. Persons who have lived in an area for a very long time can usually tell you what it will be like tomorrow. This is from years of pattern recognition which is also called climatology.


How do people who study weather use geography?

To study and describe weather you have to use geography, because weather doesn't happen in isolation. Weather is rain falling on the mountains, or the plains, or the oceans. You always say where it is. Geography also affects the weather. A range of hills means that clouds approaching them are forced to rise. Rising clouds usually drop their rain, which is why the windward sides of mountains are usually wetter than the leeward sides.

How do satellites make predictions?

That's not the way it works. Satellites photograph such atmospheric phenomena as cloud movement. Weather forecasters watch as the clouds move, generally from west to east although hurricane clouds move across the Atlantic from eas to west. As they see the weather approaching an area, they can PREDICT how the weather will be based on how fast it's moving. Just like you can see a car coming down the street at a steady rate of speed, you can predict how long it will take for the car to run you down. You get out of the way -- people take cover form bad weather.
