Meteorologist

A meteorologist is a scientist who studies the weather. Each day, they look at maps full of swirling clouds, read numbers from weather stations, and check pictures taken by satellites high above the Earth. For example, they might notice a big cloud heading toward a town and work out when it will arrive. Other scientists might study rocks, animals or stars, but a meteorologist studies the air and sky, and figures out what they will do next.

Then the meteorologist shares what they have found, on TV, on the radio or with people who run airports and farms. Because of this, a family can know to bring umbrellas for the rain, a farmer can pick the best day to gather crops, and a pilot can choose a smooth path through the sky. When you check if you need a coat before going outside, you are using the work of a meteorologist.
