I've archived this talk off as it was very old and mostly me jabbering to myself. nick 16:37, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
I have rewritten the weather article. It is now a generic explanation of weather, rather than a portal for weather web sites. nick 13:36, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
Finally I think this article is on its way to becoming what it should be: a decent overview of all aspect of weather. Details should be dealt with in the articles linked to, not in this article itself. nick 16:37, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
There are a couple of errors I have just noticed in this article - I'll try and fix them tonight but if somone else has time please do:
I added a quick mention of corriolis effect.
The effect of latent heat and adiabatic expansion and contraction could be usefully added. crandles 22:31, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
I didn't know rain was a phenomena, or snow, or even clear blue skies. -- Jay( Reply) 16:38, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
Well lots of people seem to think that there is a lot missing from this article, but no-one seems to be willing to elaborate. If you can think of something missing stick it in a list here. Bear in mind that this article pretty much has to be an overview of the subject given its depth and complexity. 83.67.130.184 18:15, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
Maybe much of this info is under Climate, but temperature is a big part of the weather... Thanks! [davidfine dot org] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.145.15.134 ( talk) 13:13, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
Surely thats a bit austere? what about the students? -- maxrspct ping me 21:59, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
First, this article says "Weather is a term that encompasses phenomena in the atmosphere of a planet." Then, it includes a section on extra-planetary weather that states explicitly that "Weather is not limited to planetary bodies." This could be cause for pretty substantial confusion, and should probably be cleared up. Imagining the concept of extra-planetary weather is valid, as seems more likely in this case, I think we should delete the first sentence of the article and use a modified version of the second one (which defines weather for a second time) in its stead. Something like:
To be more precise, and to use the term "phenomena", which is likely more accurate than "state". If no-one objects, I'll change the article in a day or two. -- Thesocialistesq/M.Lesocialiste 01:49, 5 June 2007 (UTC) Alright. I'm going to go ahead with this. -- Thesocialistesq/M.Lesocialiste 17:17, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
I think, adding the following link to Ogimet website, where the latest information from all meteorological stations of the world is provided, is important: http://www.ogimet.com/index.phtml.en Cmapm 16:58, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

precipitation is an important part of the weather, it erodes this earth and should be respected

Apologies, I am not a meteorologist and have no training in the field but I was removing px on images to match user preferences and encountered some markup I am unable to fix. The nice chart under "Forecasting" disappeared. I wonder if another editor would be able to fix that? Also I added a "citations missing" template for now, hope that's okay with you. Thanks very much for this article. - Susanlesch 17:48, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

How do I use this page to find out what the weather is. If Wikipedia is the sum of all human knowledge, shouldn't this page tell me what the weather is like in every city all over the world? 69.143.226.129 ( talk) 18:55, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
Right now the article states On Earth, temperatures usually range between ±40 °C (±72 °F). I personally don't like this representation of the range, particularly the Fahrenheit scale range, since the average (not median, I know, but how would you even find that?) surface temperature is around 14 °C (55 °F). You see a lot of temperatures going over +72 °F (even north of the Arctic Circle) but not so much -72 °F, unless you're in Antarctica. Does anyone think a direct translation of the Celsius scale range would be better? That would be roughly -40 °F to 100 °F. I could even argue that we shouldn't have either scale represented in a plus-or-minus fashion and stick to ranges of two separate numbers. Jason Patton ( talk) 09:31, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
starting AID for this important article? NPOV-V-NOR 15:23, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
near the beginning of th article, there is this mishmash:
go to end of article*Weather is a set of all the phenomena occurring in a given atmosphere at a given time.[1]
Could some-one please fix this. Kdammers ( talk) 02:53, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
There is a discussion on the wikinews mailing list about setting up bots or other software agents to track weather conditions. The intent is to have quite a high level of detail to present weather conditions as news. Obviously, if you maintain a historical record of the data there are other uses for the data - some of which may benefit Wikipedia.
We'd welcome any and all input on this, particularly on the presentation of the data and what should be stored. -- Brian McNeil / talk 13:15, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
Don't you reckon we should update or change the way we get in contact with the weather warnings? We should have better and easier ways to see whats comming etc... what do you think? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Westy1997 ( talk • contribs) 08:47, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
Should references 46/47 be used since they are citing a web page which is in turn citing another source? This is essentially another aggregate site run by a individual relaying other sources.

weather is one of the most dangerous things on this planet. It is more powerful than any thing living on Earth. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.198.159.153 ( talk) 17:54, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
As I understand it, "whether" is used as "I will go outside, whether or not it is raining", rather than a mis-spelling of "weather".
Wiktionary suggests that "whether" is obsolete, though I'd disagree with that - I've used it (and seen it used) a fair few times. Perhaps it's used more frequently in British English than in American (or other) forms of the language? If this is the case, then it would only be obsolete in the context of a particular regional dialect.
I seem to recall that "whether" can also be spelled as "wether", though a quick search doesn't seem to find any evidence to support this.
2.26.15.230 ( talk) 09:09, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
In the intro and the body, we have a statement that agricultural activities can inadvertently change the weather; this document is the source. Unless we have some other source saying that agriculture is able to do this, I'd suggest removing the agricultural bit: the source page says "agriculture" and then goes on to discuss nothing but industrial activities, which cause problems such as acid rain. A basic rule of writing summaries is that you don't include what's not mentioned elsewhere: unless we can give examples of agricultural activities potentially causing changes in the weather, we ought not mention agriculture. As it is now, I thought this was perhaps someone jokingly implying that rain follows the plow, rather than anything serious. Nyttend ( talk) 05:49, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

Does anyone know how to embed/link this Year of Weather 2015 video from EUMETSAT in the article to play for readers? I could not find a method, only trying to download the video, converting formats and then uploading, which did not seem productive to me. I was just trying to embed the video in a video player.

Hi,
in chapter 9 Extremes on Earth, it is mentioned, that the reading (at El-Azizia) is queried.
The hottest air temperature ever recorded should be changed because "the WMO World Archive of Weather and Climate Extremes rejected this temperature extreme of 58°C as the highest temperature officially recorded on the planet. The WMO assessment is that the highest recorded surface temperature of 56.7°C (134°F) was measured on 10 July 1913 at Greenland Ranch (Death Valley), California"
Five major concerns with the 1922 El Azizia temperature extreme record has been pointed out in the : Assessment of the Purported World Record 58°C Temperature Extreme at El Azizia, Libya (13 September 1922) http://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/full/10.1175/BAMS-D-12-00093.1
Thanks for all your work within WP,
Best regards,

Weather simply refers to the condition of the earth’s atmosphere at a specific location and area. Weather forecasting is one of the most scientifically and technologically challenging problems due to its complex and dynamic nature.
Forecasting is the process of estimating the weather patterns through using historical data, AI technologies, and satellite imagery combining it with prediction models. Weather forecasting uses science and technology to forecast atmospheric conditions for a certain period over a specific location. The day-to-day changes of weather elements such as rainfall, temperature, wind speed, and humidity are essential meteorological parameters to be monitored continuously. The meteorological satellites provide a measurement of weather parameters at frequent intervals. The satellite images on cloud cover and various parameters such as winds, rainfall, sea surface temperature, etc., have become an integral part of weather forecasting.
There are various uses of weather forecasting in day-to-day life; it can be as simple as deciding whether to take an umbrella with you on your work or to determine your outfit. It can also help various sectors like agriculture and farming, logistics, aviation, among others, for their operations and smooth functioning. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Williamliamjones ( talk • contribs) 11:38, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
