Weather predictions, based on observation and mathematical modelshelp forecast the state of the atmosphere at a given time and location from records such as temperature, humidity, pressure, precipitation or wind.
Weather forecasts are practices that have been carried out for hundreds of years, even before the Christian era, basically based on the observation of cloud patterns, wind, and the time of year, although initially these They were not very accurate.
However, it was not until the arrival of new technologies (such as computers) that mathematical models began to be implemented that made it possible to achieve more precise predictions, becoming a fundamental factor for the transportation (land, sea or air), agriculture, tourism, disaster prevention, public health and even military operationsthis beyond deciding whether or not to carry an umbrella or what outfit to put on.
