The meteorological department of the government collects and analyzes data on various weather elements such as temperature, humidity, rainfall, and wind speed to predict the weather.
- The maximum and minimum temperatures of a day are measured using a maximum-minimum thermometer.
- Rainfall is recorded using a rain gauge, which collects and measures the amount of precipitation.
- Wind speed is determined using an anemometer, helping to predict storms and weather changes.
- Humidity levels are measured using different specialized instruments to understand moisture content in the air.
By studying this data, meteorologists identify weather patterns and use scientific models to forecast temperature changes, rainfall, storms, and other weather conditions, helping in daily weather reports and disaster preparedness.
