How did the Ancient Romans tell the weather?

Probably looked at the sky and the sea, breathed and felt the air, and then extrapolated from previous experience.\n\nProbably also consulted oracles, and made offerings to various deities to propitiate the gods, and in hopes of getting favorable weather.

Weather satellites are used to collect basic data, such as temperature and moisture levels, which allows experts to predict weather to a reasonable extent. Past attempts to control weather have been largely unsuccessful and have centered mainly in trying to create rain.

I believe the "ancients" that the above is refering to are the Greeks.  The Romans, more specifically Julius Cesar, instigated using the calander we use today, but borrowed the names of the moon phases from the Greeks when they conquered them.

In 1877, S.Weir Mitchell, a Philadelphia doctor wrote an article in the prestigious American Journal of Medical Sciences on "The Relation of Pain to Weather". The article related the onset and degree of pain recorded in a log by a Union Captain, whose leg had been amputated after a Civil War injury, to local weather conditions. He observed that the pain began as pressures fell and humidity and temperatures rose, conditions usually associated with an approaching storm. He noted the pain continued until the pressures began to rise and humidities began to fall as the storm departed.\n\nSeventy years later in Germany, another very similar study confirmed this relationship and really kick-started a new science, called Biometeorology. Formed from the two Greek words "bios" meaning life and meteoros meaning "the study of phenomena up above (thus weather phenomena in the atmosphere)". The new science studied the effect of weather on life (health).\n\nThis time the two players were Otto Hollich, a PhD student at the University of Hamburg and Claus Thurkow, a German soldier. Claus had lost an arm in 1945 after heavy shrapnel injury suffered in World War II. He kept a detailed daily log of the onset, degree and duration of pain for five years while the meteorology student tracked the daily weather. The meteorology student used more sophisticated statistical methods than the earlier study but the results were very much the same. He noted that the pain began when pressure fell and humidities rose, the first sign of an approaching storm. The research showed the pain continued until the storm and cold front finally passed, pressures began to rise and temperatures and humidities began to fall.\n\nFigure 1\n\n(click here for larger image) \nThe pain and weather relationship has since been established beyond reasonable doubt from further controlled studies. After that study, much additional research in both the US and abroad has since established relationships between many ailments and weather conditions. The Germans have taken a world lead in this new discipline. The German meteorological service for years now have provided daily advice and advisories to hospitals, doctors and clinics in Germany on which ailments are likely to be aggravated due to expected weather conditions.\n\nIn this country, the principle proponent of the science of Biometeorology was the late Helmut Landsberg, Professor at the University of Maryland and the father of modern Climatology. He catalogued many ailments and their weather connection in the landmark book "Weather and Health, An Introduction to Biometeorology

The Romans did have common baths. The others i think the rivers for bath and fields for the rest ;)

The way it was told to me was that the ancient Greeks and Romans decided on one day each for the sun, the moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn and Jupiter, the planets visible to the naked eye.  This actually is still reflected in the French names for the days and somewhat it the English names for the days of the week.\n\nLundi - Monday - Moon (la Lune)\nMardi - Tuesday - Mars\nMercredi - Wednesday - Mercury\nJeudi - Thursday - Jupiter\nVendredi - Friday - Venus\nSamedi - Saturday - Saturn\nDimanche - Sunday - Sun

theres a whole bunch of conspiracy theorys on this if you search around.  I found this one article though that was kind of interesting http://archives.cnn.com/2002/WEATHER/05/27/bugs.weather/index.html\n\nif we can use microbes to make medicine why not control the weather with them... really both concepts are pretty crazy but the medicine one is already done.

Do you mean today?  Check the weather network.  If you mean in general...B.C. is so vast a space, you have many different weather districts. It's got coastline, it's got mountains, it's got desert-like areas, it's got heavy forests, it has all but Hawaii-tropical weather.  I'm afraid you'll have to do the research to write your paper.

What the heck are they doin to weather??

"There are basically four elements of weather that can help describe weather. The four elements include  wind, temperature, air pressure and moisture." (From the ref.) These may seem an arbitrary choice until you realize that they are all easily measurable and independent of each other, whereas dew point and cloud cover can be said to derive from humidity, temperature and pressure.

(m)\n\nThe difference between weather and climate is a measure of time. Weather is what conditions of the atmosphere are over a short period of time, and climate is how the atmosphere "behaves" over relatively long periods of time. \n\nWhen we talk about climate change, we talk about changes in long-term averages of daily weather. Today, children always hear stories from their parents and grandparents about how snow was always piled up to their waists as they trudged off to school. Children today in most areas of the country haven't experienced those kinds of dreadful snow-packed winters, except for the Northeastern U.S. in January 2005. The change in recent winter snows indicate that the climate has changed since their parents were young. \n\nIf summers seem hotter lately, then the recent climate may have changed. In various parts of the world, some people have even noticed that springtime comes earlier now than it did 30 years ago. An earlier springtime is indicative of a possible change in the climate. \n\naddition to long-term climate change, there are shorter term climate variations. This so-called climate variability can be represented by periodic or intermittent changes related to El Niño, La Niña, volcanic eruptions, or other changes in the Earth system

Keep in mind, this was in the times of ancient Rome.  The times were different back then, they used diff days, not as many, and the rulers adjusted the calendars as they pleased.  Translating from then to now is difficult.  But we celebrate it as close to the day we believe it happened as possible.\n-Duo

They come from the east. Meteorologists refer to the wind by the direction in which the winds are coming.

Have them make a collage about weather.  Take a big piece of cardboard.  Have them divide it into four parts.  Have them make a sun for the sunny days.  For rainy days they can add cotton balls and some silver glitter for rain drops.  For snow days they can use cotton balls for the snow and some white glitter.  For windy days have them scatter some confetti about or something.  Then have them make an arrow and use a brad (I think thats what they are called) and have them stick it through the arrow and into the middle of their paper.  Then when they watch the weather report with mom and dad during the evening news they can turn the dial to the next days weather.  This will teach them that the weather can be predicted each day and they can see if the weather forecaster was right or not when they wake up the next morning and compare the weather or their paper with what is going on outside.

By using computer models that process all kinds of information, wind speeds, temperatures, moisture, etc. The models looks at the current weather systems and extrapolate what the weather will be. Then using that and other available information, what time of year is it? Where are you located geographically? He makes a prediction. Bear in mind that the further out a forecast is the more unreliable it is.
