Solution
Weather forecasting is the application of science and technology to predict the state of the atmosphere for a given location. Nowadays it is made with the help of data gathered from weather satellites and radar systems. Forecasts help to plan what to wear when to travel or which products to stock in supermarkets. It’s especially important for farmers, builders, sailors, or anyone else who works outdoors.
