WHY DO
WEATHER
FORECASTS
STILL GET IT
Despite its radical bene t to humankind, meteorology still attracts criticism and remains the butt of jokes,
mostly because its weather predictions could go wrong. Even as seasoned weather forecasters could announce
a 100 percent chance of rain in a city, it wouldn’t rain at all afterwards!
To be fair, weather forecasting has signi cantly improved in the last 20 years or so. Experts are much better
equipped in providing advanced warnings of severe weather events, doubling the lead times when it comes to
tornado warnings, and offering people about 40 more minutes to escape ash oods.

In reality, con icting predictive models may result in contrasting views. Pinning down the exact location of a
weather event, too, can be notoriously dif cult. Weather prediction tools monitoring vital weather signs are far
from perfectly accurate.

But count on the whole science to improve over time, as witnessed the past decades. Supercomputers and
other advanced technological tools, after all, are lending a hand in cranking out the calculations to reduce or
eliminate guesswork. Keep in mind, though, that predicting the future will be sorely dif cult not just for
meteorologists, but for humankind as a whole.
