This category and sub-categories follow the WMO convention of listing one site per country. Please post here only one site, maintained by a national government department, for a country which is not represented. Sites not in English belong in World/ under the appropriate language. There is a tendency for weather sites to state prominently that they use government data, but they turn out, on close examination, to be commercial sites. These sites belong in Regional/ under the relevant nation. more information (editors only) |
Meteorology is the branch of science which studies weather. It is often an inexact science, especially when forecasting is involved, so that predictions often are stated as a percentage of probability.Listings here should concern the scientific practice of meteorology, information about weather events of historical interest, meteology as a hobby, and some instruments and products which either facilitate scientific meteorology or come from that background. Listings related to finding or reporting weather news should go to News: Weather.
Climate encompasses the temperatures, humidity, rainfall, atmospheric pressure, particle count and numerous other meteorogical factors in a given region over long periods of time, as opposed to the term weather, which refers to the atmospheric state at any given time.
