weather predictions

What meteorologists announce

Weather predictions are forecasts of atmospheric conditions—temperature, precipitation, wind, humidity—for a given time and place.

The term covers everything from tomorrow's local forecast to long-range climate projections.

The weather predictions called for rain all weekend.

Accuracy decreases as predictions extend further into the future.
