<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr">Arab Weather - Weather forecasts on television have witnessed remarkable development over the years, starting from traditional methods to the use of modern computer graphics. In this article, learn with us the story of weather forecasts over time</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h2 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Weather forecast journey through time</h2><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> At first, scientists relied on drawing front lines with chalk on a map, then magnets and radar images were used, all the way to the sophisticated systems we see today.</p><h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>The role of technology in the development of weather forecasting</strong></h3><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> During the 1980s and 1990s, rapid changes in technology occurred that greatly improved weather forecasting. One of the most notable milestones in this development was the addition of automated weather stations in various cities, which helped in collecting data with greater accuracy. </p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="498" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_L-mGKFx0A4" title="5 Things That Changed Weather Forecasting Forever" width="885"></iframe></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>Claire Martin&#39;s Experience</strong></h3><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Claire Martin, who started forecasting in 1996, has witnessed these changes firsthand. She worked in the field until 2014, and spoke about her experience of the evolution of weather forecasting. Initially, data was printed on large sheets of paper that had to be drawn by hand, but as technology evolved, forecasters could create graphics on a georeferenced globe that could be interacted with directly on screen.</p><h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>Technological transformations that changed the profession</strong></h3><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Over time, new technologies emerged, such as green screens that allowed forecasters to view three-dimensional images of storms. This advance allowed them to see air currents and hailstones more clearly and accurately. </p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="498" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Bjuc6bXnTgw" title="A quick history of weather forecasting on television" width="885"></iframe></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>The Future and the Impact of Climate Change</strong></h3><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> In the future, climate change is expected to be a major part of meteorologists’ work, with its impact clearly visible in the increased intensity of weather events. In addition, continued advances in technology will contribute to improving the ability to provide advanced interactive images, such as converting cumulus clouds into 3D images that show all their details.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Weather forecasting on television has evolved greatly thanks to technology, with methods evolving from hand-drawn to advanced computer graphics. In the future, these shifts are expected to continue with increased focus on the effects of climate change and advances in the technological tools available to experts.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> See also:</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <a href="https://www.arabiaweather.com/ar/content/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B2%D8%B9%D8%A7%...
