Meteorologists use weather maps to make predictions about how the weather will change. Weather maps show data from weather stations around the world, including temperature, precipitation, as well as features like fronts and areas of high and low pressure. Scientists study weather maps to help predict how the weather is likely to change based on patterns in the current conditions shown on the maps.
