How do weathermen forecast the temperature for the next week?

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.

No, How do they know?? ....they cant foresee the weather right so how can say the end of world is that?????

In the United States, what the weather forecasters you see on TV do, is read the official forecast from the National Weather Service, or maybe Accuweather. \n\nAccuweather is a commercial enterprise run by a professor at Penn State. Accuweather gets the free National Weather Service forecasts, packages them slightly differently, and then sells them to the gullible. \n\nIt is a little known, dirty little secret that the European forecasts are vastly better than the American forecasts, even the European forecasts for the US. \n\nThe reason for this is because of incompetence, arrogance and mismanagement on the part of the organization that produces the American forecasts. Basically it became official policy to avoid hiring people with competency outside a narrow range of disciplines in the US organization, to preserve cultural purity. And the US weather forecasts suffered. This is coupled with the Americans locating their weather forecasting facility in a rundown building in a bad area where employees are regularly mugged and stabbed in the parking lot. The European facility employees are paid 2-3 times as much, and work in a beautiful new building with incredible fixtures. \n\nThere is a dark side to the American dream, that Americans often do not want to face.

try the NOAA website, just go to the search menu and type in NOAA or www.noaa.gov   I think you can get monthly/climate predictions on there, if not try www.weather.com

Saturday morning's model forecasts indicate a cold front passing the Gatlinburg area Monday night - thus warm until then, then becoming cool. I expect maximum temperatures of mid 70's Sunday & Monday, then 50's Tuesday & Wednesday after the front - the only period of abundant cloudiness thru Wednesday being with the cold front Monday night (could be an afternoon thundershower) and perhaps diurnal cumulus/stratocumulus Tuesday. A storm system may affect the region late Thursday &/or AM Friday.\n\nSo basically you should be preapred for both warm & cool weather, though clear much of the time and no need for winter clothes.\n\nBelow are some model forecasts from Satruday  morning:\n\nNAM showing you in the warm air Monday afternoon, with a cold front approaching:\n\nhttp://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/nwprod/analysis/namer/nam/12/images/nam_slp_054l.gif\n\nNAM showing cold front passing with showers Monday night:\n\nhttp://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/nwprod/analysis/namer/nam/12/images/nam_slp_066l.gif\n\nCooler Tuesday with NW winds, then remaining cool Wednesday though sunny - warmer air starting to approach:\n\nhttp://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/nwprod/analysis/namer/gfs/12/images/gfs_slp_102l.gif\n\nThus Thursday may be a bit warmer, though a storm system approaching may cause cloudiness and eventually rain - most likely late Thursday or early Friday (forecast of this disturbance not that reliable at this point):\n\nhttp://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/nwprod/analysis/namer/gfs/12/images/gfs_slp_138l.gif\n\nI hope this illustrated that weather can be quite predictable to 6 days in advance. Note the model forecasts did not change much - we'll see how well it verifies.\n\nThat is my last update - enjoy your trip.\n\nRegarding the song, that's Folsom Prison Blues. I meant A Boy Named Sue:\n\nIt was Gatlinburg in mid-July and I just hit town and my throat was dry...thought I'd stop and have myslef a brew...

Depends on where you live.\n\nWhen I lived in Florida, forecasts were accurate 90% of the time(exception: hurricanes). They can usually predict an average FL forecast 5 days in advance.\n\nHere in Denver, it is hard to predict what a front will do when the mountains to the west make it hard to predict- a good forecast is accurate for a day or 2 at best.

The most accurate place to get your weather forecast information would be the National Weather Service.\nhttp://nws.noaa.gov/

Try weather.com.\nThey will tell you the weather for the next 10 days.   It takes some finding but, if I remember rightly, there is a thing labelled world weather at the top of the screen.   Just remember you need to put Quimper, France into the bit where it asks you where you want to find the weather.   It is an american programme.\n\nIn case you have problems, the next 10 days are:\n\nJuly 18: sunny - temp high 26, low 20 - precip 10%\nJuly 19: sunny - temp high 27, low 21 - precip 10%\nJuly 20: sunny - temp high 27, low 21 - precip 10%\nJuly 21: sunny - temp high 27, low 20 - precip 10%\nJuly 22: sunny - temp high 27, low 20 - precip 10%\nJuly 23: sunny - temp high 27, low 20 - precip 10%\nJuly 24: sunny - temp high 27, low 19 - precip 10%\nJuly 25: sunny - temp high 26, low 19 - precip 20%\nJuly 26: sunny - temp high 26, low 19 - precip 20%\nJuly 27: sunny - temp high 25, low 19 - precip 10%\n\nFrom this website, I then got The Weather Channel  put on my computer - and then it is always there for wherever you want to find out the weather.   I use it every day to find out the temperature of where we are going in August, as well as being able to compare it with where I am now.\n\nHave a good holiday.

Well, the temperature is going to increase by one degree every three days.  You will need to do the math from there.

have you seen the weather forecast ?????\nmake the most of it i say

Persistence, prediction is based on what is happening now. \nTrends, speed and direction of fronts are determined to predict where they will be in the future.\nClimatology, averages weather on this date in history to make predictions.\nAnalog, compares today's scenario and with similar scenarios in the past.

If you mean how can we forecast the weather, it's largely a matter of  measuring teh movement or change of wind currents, humidity, and a number of other factors.  Now, most of that is fed into a computer, and it gives aprediciton of what the weather will be over a short period of time.  Or, you could use an ancient Indian weather rock:  If it's hot, the sun is out; if it's wet, it's raining; if it's swinging, the wind is blowing...

There is a formula; I won't try to reproduce it here, but will instead include a link to the chart (which includes the formula) on the web site for the National Weather Service.  They have a good explanation of how it works.

I use a weather forecasting website called Metcheck.\n\nThe weather prediction for my area for December 3rd is currently shown as \n\nSun 3 Dec at 12 noon - max temp 9 °c, wind chill temp 1 °c, pressure 987 mb,  5.6 mm of rain, cloud cover 99 %  wind at 17 mph  \n\nOf course this is only a "best guess" at this stage, but they do provide frequent updates and are often extremely accurate in their short to mid range forecasts.
