With so many technical advances at thier disposal, why can't Meterologists predict weather and track storms better than they do?
It is all mathmatics and formulas isn't it? They know wind speeds, track ocean currents, jet streams, hot and cold fronts. They measure wind
speed,surface and air temps, and barometric pressure. So why can't they forecast better than they do?
What are some of the factors that make this so difficult? I have heard things like sun spots, pollution and oddities like volcanic eruptions can
change the forcast, but can't they take these into account? It seems they are wrong as often as they are right. Sometimes our lives depend on those
reports.
