can see the weather of any part of the world and tell how the weather will change.
Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries can r 5 satellite

Perhaps they may find that the clouds have c 8 during the last few hours. This may mean
that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather report , they can tell

week or more ahead.
