 History Behind Predicting Weather

 

Man has always tried to predict weather as his survival has depended on weather and other natural conditions. The Babylonians in around 650 BC and Chinese Astronomers  in 300 BC used observation and calenders to predict weather.

 

Around 340 B.C., the Greek philosopher Aristotle wrote Meteorologica, he made some remarkably observations concerning the weather.  Throughout the centuries, people have attempted to make forecasts based on weather lore and personal observations. Galileo Galilei (1564-1642, Italian) invented an early thermometer in 1592. The following article sheds more light on this subject.
