Measurement and forecasting of weather is a major interest in agriculture

Weather and weather forecasting are critical for agriculture, as they can have a major impact on crop yields and farming operations. In order to maximize crop yields, farmers need to be able to anticipate and prepare for changes in the weather, such as extreme temperatures, precipitation, and storms. This is where weather forecasting comes in. By using data from satellites, weather stations, and other sources, meteorologists can create forecasts that help farmers make decisions about when to plant, irrigate, and harvest their crops. This can help farmers avoid losses due to poor weather, and can also help them take advantage of favorable conditions. Additionally, accurate weather forecasting can help plan for the long-term, by allowing decisions about what crops to plant and where to plant them based on long-term weather patterns. Overall, weather forecasting plays a crucial role in helping farmers manage the risks and maximize the rewards of agriculture.
