Explanation

The satellites and advanced technologies have helped meteorologists to forecast accurately.

There are four types of forecasting methods prevailing now.

They are climatology method, persistence method, analog method and trends method.

The persistence and trends method uses the previous day forecast and compare with today's condition to forecast about future.

The analog method is a complex method where the forecasting is done by comparing present weather condition with a similar condition occurred in the past to predict for future.

The climatology is the simplest method which uses average of weather conditions observed in the previous days to get accurate forecast for future.
