Types of Weather Forecasts
Short-term forecasts predict weather conditions within hours to a few days, providing information on things like temperature, precipitation, and wind. Medium-range forecasts cover a time span of days to a week, focusing on broader weather patterns and trends. Long-term forecasts offer predictions for weeks to months ahead, often used for climate research and seasonal planning.	Image Source
