Meteorology is the scientific study of the atmosphere and its phenomena, including weather and climate. It involves observing and analyzing various atmospheric conditions, such as temperature, humidity, wind, and precipitation, to understand how they interact and change over time. Meteorologists use this information to forecast weather and study long-term climate patterns. The field of meteorology employs various tools and technologies, including satellites, radar, and weather stations, to collect data. This information helps in predicting severe weather events, such as storms and hurricanes, which can significantly impact communities and the environment.
