Weather SatellitesOrbit the Earth to collect data on temperature, humidity,

wind speed, and wind direction, and take pictures of Earth’s surface, clouds, storms, and snow to help

interpret and predict the weather.

Weather StationsNational Weather Service sets up stations around the U.S to monitor temperature, air pressure, relative humidity,

rainfall, wind speed and wind direction.

Computer Weather ForecastsComputers quickly process information about

temperature, humidity, air pressure, wind speed, and wind direction to help meteorologists make predictions

about the weather.
