ABSTRACT

The Patterns of the weather have long been important to people, especially farmers, whose crops, animal and livelihoods depends upon the weather. In the days of sailing ships, being able to predict the weather could be the difference between a speeds voyage to a distance land or shipwreck in a storm. So farmers and sailors were among the first to forecast the weather by observing its patterns though weather sate11tes now provide much of the information on which forecasts are based, weather stations still supply important data especially at a local level. A typical weather station might include a barometer to measure air pressure, a maximum/minimum to record the highest and lowest temperature, an anemometer and wind vary to measure wind speed and direction, a rainguage to measure the amount of rainfall, a hydrometer to measure the humidity of the atmosphere.
