What is weather forecast?
Weather forecast means a prediction of temperature, rain, humidity, wind, visibility and sky condition for a place. People search weather today, weather near me, today temperature, aaj ka mausam and live weather forecast to plan daily work, school, travel, farming and outdoor activity.
How weather forecast works
Weather is predicted using weather stations, satellites, radar systems, air pressure, wind movement, humidity and computer models. A good short-term forecast can help you know if the day may be hot, rainy, cloudy, windy or clear. Forecast accuracy is usually stronger for today and the next few days than for long-range forecasts.
Temperature vs feels like temperature
Normal temperature tells what the air temperature is. Feels like temperature tells how the weather feels to the body. It changes because of humidity, wind and sunlight. For example, 35°C may feel like 40°C when humidity is high.
Rain prediction meaning
Rain chance shows the possibility of rainfall in your area. If rain chance is high, carry an umbrella, avoid open parking and check road conditions. If rain chance is low, outdoor plans are safer.
AQI and air quality
AQI tells how clean or polluted the air is. High PM2.5 or poor AQI can affect children, elderly people and people with breathing issues. If AQI is poor, avoid heavy outdoor exercise and wear a mask in polluted areas.
