- "Weather significantly impacts on the feasibility of using military force and on ensuing operations. ... Weather data is part of the intelligence information required by commanders and staffs to plan and conduct combat operations. The answers achieved by analyzing weather data, identifying weather effects, and assessing the impact of weather on systems, tactics, and operations provide vital information for commanders to optimally employ their forces. " Army Field Manual 34-81 (Weather Support for Army Tactical Operations).
- Over the millennia, military commanders have recognized the important role of weather in battle. Despite this recognition, the history of warfare is replete with battles lost because of the failure to adequately predict the weather or to properly understand the potential impact of weather on combat operations. Napoleon and Hitler lost their eastern front wars because of a failure to prepare for cold weather. ... Cloud cover or man-made obscurants can hide military forces, a sudden change in weather conditions can make them visible and vulnerable. Because of this, the Army, Air Force, Navy and the Marine Corps all have substantial operational activities for gathering, sharing and predicting weather and for the dissemination of weather information to battlefield commanders. In addition, the Armed Services rely on other Government agencies, such as the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for the development of state-of-the-art weather forecasting models and detailed weather information. ...
- Each of the Armed Services also has unique military related weather requirements. ... 1, the Army must evaluate and address the threat of enemy nuclear, biological and chemical weapons, smoke, non-lethal, and flame weapons—weapons whose local effectiveness is substantially affected by weather conditions. In addition, local weather conditions have a significant effect on observability—both the ability to see an adversary as well as the ability to remain undetected. Because of this, the Army has particularly stringent requirements for localized weather forecasts and for analyses of the impact of weather on "ground terrain". ...

Its not only these dedicated professionals who help predict the weather, but hundreds of trained volunteer weather observers throughout the region who report such mundane information as total rainfall in the past 24 hours.

- History of the National Weather Service.
- Founded in 1870, the National Weather Service (it was called the Weather Bureau at the time) began because Armed Services commanders wanted accurate weather reports for the United States, something they lacked during the War Between the States. ...
- As a result of this tragedy, the Weather Bureau was moved to the Department of Agriculture and the forecasts were made not only for the military, but for the general population as well. ...
- By 1903 the Weather Bureau had made a significant impact on American life. ... By 1902 The Marconi Company (now RCA) began to broadcast the Weather Bureau predictions to ships at sea. In 1903 the Wright Brothers checked with the Weather Bureau before making their historic flight.
- In the 1930's and 1940's the science of meteorology underwent major changes in the way weather was predicted. ... Navy gave the Service surplus aircraft radars to use in predicting weather. In 1959 the first "weather satellite" was launched. This crude experimental orbiter proved that satellites would be an invaluable aid to weather predictions.

But, The Nation Weather Service is quick to point out, in either event, weather prediction by animals has no basis of scientific fact and should be regulated to the realm of folklore. ...
- Predicting the weather has been a human passion for ages. Farmers wanted to know what kind of a season was forthcoming -- would there be enough rain or would there be drought? Would the winter be cold or mild? How could they tell if a violent storm was coming? Not having Doppler radar in their log cabins, they relied on natural signs to help them predict the weather. ...
- Other than farmers, ships at sea were most affected by the weather. And since animals (except rats and the legendary pirate’s parrot) were rare on ships, sailors used current weather conditions, the position of the moon, as well as the behavior of sea life, to determine whether they should batten down the hatches. ...

- As we have just discovered, meteorologists now use lots of complicated equipment, such as satellites, to forecast the weather. However, people have always been interested in the weather, particularly farmers, sailors and others whose livelihood depended on it. ... As well as looking at the skies, they also used the behaviour of animals, birds and plants as clues to future weather patterns.
- Nowadays, people still disagree as to whether this weather lore is simply superstition and old wives tales, or whether it can in fact help in predicting the weather. ...
- Weather cones.
- One of the most reliable of all natural weather indicators are pine cones. These have traditionally been used to forecast the weather as they change shape according to whether it is wet or dry. In dry weather, pine cones open out as the scales shrivel up and stand out stiffly. ...
- Trees are also involved in longer-term weather predictions. ...
- This expression refers to weather for the next few days or weeks and indicates in turn only light rain, or very wet weather depending on which tree flowers first.
- There are a number of flowers that you should look for if you want to know what the weather will be like. One of these is the Scarlet Pimpernel, which has been called the "poor mans weather glass". This is because its flowers open in sunny weather, but close tightly when rain is expected.
- The petals of the Morning Glory act in a similar way with wide open blooms indicating fine weather and shut petals predicting rain and bad weather. ...
- In coastal areas, seaweed is often used as a natural weather forecaster. Kelp, for example, shrivels and feels dry in fine weather, but swells and becomes damp if rain is in the air.

- Understanding and Predicting Summer Weather While Bicycle Touring.
- When I was about twelve, I received a Boy's Life magazine with an article on predicting the weather by looking at the clouds. Sitting on my front porch, I announced to the boy next door that it was going to rain in less than four hours, so he suggested that we check the barometer in his home, which indicated clear weather. ...
- For a large part of an hour, I tuned from music station to music station, hunting a weather forecast but finding none. I finally decided that the early morning rain was going to let up as no one was predicting a storm. ...
- The Limitations of Weather Reports.
- These three stories illustrate some of the limitations of depending on instruments and weather reports. There several major weaknesses to weather reports: .
- 1) Weather reports are made for several days at a time, but the accuracy of the prediction drops off rapidly with time. A weatherman wrote that if Monday's weather report is 90% accurate, Tuesday's will be 81%, Wednesday's 72%, Thursday's 63%, and Friday's only 54%. ... Yet every Monday, my weatherman says more about Friday's weather than he says about Monday's, and he is usually wrong about Monday's. I can give a weather forecast for Alabama which is more accurate than the typical weekend report: in the spring, it will be cool and windy with a 50% chance of rain; in the summer, it will be hot and humid with a 20% chance of heavy thundershowers; in the fall, it will be cool and dry with rain unlikely; and in the winter, it will be either windy, cool, and rainy or cold and dry. ...
- 2) Weather reports are based on what is happening somewhere else, not on what is happening here, and they often ignore the affects of local climate and of present conditions. ...
- 3) Weather reports are usually too vague and indefinite to be useful. What does a 50% chance of rain really mean? Does it mean that half of the places will get wet or that it will rain half of the day or that it will only rain 50% as hard as it could or that it might rain and might not, all four, or what? Really, it would be a lot more useful to give the weather the old way and say, "Showers likely" because I at least know it's going to be showers rather than a steady drizzle. ...
