Develop the ancient skill of forecasting weather by reading natural signs and understanding meteorological principles. Learn to interpret cloud types (cirrus means weather change coming, cumulonimbus means thunderstorms), observe wind direction shifts, read barometric pressure trends, and notice animal behavior changes before storms.
Study weather patterns: high pressure brings clear skies, low pressure brings precipitation, cold fronts move faster than warm fronts. Combine traditional observation (red sky at night, sailor's delight) with modern tools (weather apps, radar). Useful for outdoor activities, agriculture, and emergency preparedness.
Weather prediction connects you to atmospheric science while building practical forecasting skills surprisingly accurate for short-term predictions.
