It is the tendency of present
culture to look to the news or weather report for daily information on the
climate at any given time, whether it is for warnings predicting extreme
weather events, or simply the daily forecast. The weather map is made up of a
number of essential details, symbols representing the temperature shown in
degrees, dew point temperature and air pressure being a few. We look to weather
maps like the illustration above because they provide an idea of what the
weather will be as a result of alternating winds and their patterns. In this
way, we almost attempt to predict nature, but as is the common case with
weather forecasts, they can never be 100% accurate.
