Our ability to predict the
weather depends on the information we have. (able)
Special equipment is used to collect weather data, including amount of
rainfall, temperature and wind speed and direction from over the world. (equip)
Computers make a comparison (compare) between these present-day figures
and historical (history) records, then try to predict the figure on the
basis of the past.
Large computers also help to produce a detailed (detail) picture of the likely
weather using a model of the Earth in their memories.
Even with these aids, nature is so unpredictable (predict) that our
forecast are accurate for only for a few days
