Why do we study METEOROLOGY?

Weather is news. Every day, millions of people tune into weather forecast on television and radio or check the newspaper and telephone- line forecasts. Droughts, hurricanes, floods and storms are all news. Many people such as farmers, sailors, airline pilots, coastguards, builders and sportspeople all take a very keen interest in how the weather is likely to affect their lives. For example, it is important for farmers to know if the weather will be good for planting seeds, or for a sailor to know whether there will be dangerous storms at sea.

The weather also gets into the news because many scientists say the world's weather is changing and getting hotter. They think this is a result of increasing pollution.
