Many Americans talk about the weather. They have a lot to talk about. People have always tried to forecast the weather. In the old times they only guessed or based it on what the weather was like in the past.

Today people use radars, satellite pictures and computers. All these instruments help them to make weather pictures. Some people try to forecast the weather for a whole year or a whole season. Each November, the United States Weather Service forecasts what the weather will be like. And each year, The Old Farmer’s Almanac publishes a forecast for the whole year.
