Why Are Weather Forecasts Sometimes Wrong?
The incredible complexity of the interplay between the atmosphere, climate and weather conditions is beyond even our most advanced equipment at times. No weather prediction system has been found to be completely perfect. Humankind is not yet able to factor in the vast number of variables to be able to issue flawless predictions. With the advent of computers, predictions have greatly increased in accuracy. However, computers alone do not account for this improvement. Techniques for gathering weather data have also greatly improved in accuracy and scope. Another improvement involves an increasing understanding of exactly which variables affect the weather and should be monitored.
