Who is a "meteorologist"?

A meteorologist is a scientist who studies the weather and atmospheric conditions. They analyze data from various sources, such as satellites and weather stations, to predict weather patterns and provide forecasts. Meteorologists explain how factors like temperature, humidity, wind, and pressure affect weather conditions. They often present weather reports on television, radio, or online, helping the public understand upcoming weather changes. Their work is essential for daily planning, especially in areas where weather conditions can significantly impact daily activities or safety.
