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.

What device is used to predict rain?

A barometer is commonly used to predict rain, as it measures changes in air pressure that can indicate approaching weather systems. Other tools such as radar, satellites, and weather balloons are also used by meteorologists to predict rain.


How is a rain gauge used to predict weather?

No, a rain gauge is used to determine the amount of rain that has already fallen. A rain gauge is used to measure the amount of rain-water fall in a particular area; it can not be used to predict weather conditions. The instrument used to mease weather conditions are: weather satellite, Doppler radar, and weather balloons. These instruments the computer technology which enable them to read and predict weather conditions.


Who studies weather and rain cycles?

Meteorologists study weather patterns, including rain cycles. They analyze atmospheric conditions and use various tools to predict and understand the occurrence of rain and other weather events.


Fog predicts coming rain in 90 days?

Fog is just a cloud that sits the ground and how and why fog develops is based local and immediate conditions. Areas that get more rain also tend to get more fog and rain and fog are just two parts of the same thing, water in the atmosphere, but one does not predict the other. The presence of fog in an area does not predict rain in that area in 90 days or at any other time in the future. Weather and climate are much too variable for a very simple relationship such as fog in an area means rain in that area in 90 days.

What instruments do you use to predict the rain?

Meteorologists use various instruments to predict rain, including weather radar to detect precipitation, satellites to monitor cloud formation, and weather balloons to measure atmospheric conditions. Additionally, weather models that simulate the atmosphere's behavior are also used in conjunction with these instruments to forecast rain.


Can frogs be used to predict rain?

Folklore suggests that frogs croaking may be a sign of rain due to their sensitivity to weather changes, such as the increase in humidity before rainfall. However, frogs are not scientifically proven to predict rain. Their croaking behavior is more likely related to mating calls or establishing territory.
