Solution

Weather Forecast:

  1. The weather forecast deals by Meteorological Department.
  2. Temperatures, rainfall, wind speeds, directions, air pressures, and other meteorological variables are measured daily at weather stations across the world using a variety of sensors.
  3. The Meteorological Department compiles a weather report that plots all of the weather data on maps.
  4. Weather forecasters use these maps to make relatively accurate weather predictions, which are subsequently broadcast on the radio and television.

Measuring Components of Weather:

  1. Thermometers, anemometers, and barometers are some of the devices used by weather forecasters to measure temperature, wind speed, and air pressure, respectively.
  2. They also utilize weather balloons with weather packs to measure temperature, wind speed, air pressure, and wind direction in all levels of the troposphere.
  3. The rain gauge is used to control the amount of water that falls on the ground. Omreometer or Puliometer are two names for the rain gauge. Millimeters or centimeters are the units used to express it.
  4. An anemometer is a device that is used to measure the wind's speed and direction.
  5. The quantity of moisture in the air is defined as the humidity of a location, and it is measured using a Hygrometer.
