Question
what are meteorologists and what tools do they use to predict the weather

Answer
Hi Danviona

Meteorologists are weather people who try to predict what the atmosphere will do at time and location, some study past climate and some study what the weather is doing now.

The tools they use are computers and weather instruments.
