Aviation Weather and Advisory Services
The state of the atmosphere, including temperature, precipitation, humidity, cloudiness, visibility, pressure, and winds, can be classified as weather. When persons predict weather coming at a time in the future, it is called weather forecasting. Weather forecasting is one of the foremost goals of meteorology studies, and has depended on scientific and technological innovations since the middle of the 19th century. As it is different from climate, weather tracks the short-term variations of the atmosphere, in increments of minutes or months. Climate, on the other hand, is the type of weather that distinguishes a region over time. Included herein are links relating to aviation weather forecast and advisory services.
