It was very important for the weather to certainly exist in a life of people, to affect it greatly, and to grasp it. The people from Babylonia predicted the weather from the pattern of clouds in B.C. 650, and Aristotle pictured the pattern of the weather based on meteorology in B.C. 340.In Asia, it is said that Chinese people predicted the weather by B.C. 300 at least. There is no other way but to have depended at this time of the weather, and that standard was based on people's experience.for example, even now, it says "if empty is conspicuous at the time of sunset and it is red, fine" etc. are the one on the next day. It is said that especially a fishery operator needs a weather report and observed the empty situation etc. every day.

　Britain of the 1800s was the beginning that the modernistic weather report progressed. A "telegram" can be developed as a high-speed means of communication these days, and the information on the range almost wide in an instant can be collected now. It is said that the real-time nature of this information serves as the starting point of the method of telling the present weather report, and the British fleet also used it from the height of usefulness.The weather chart was created starting with Britain having established the Meteorological Agency after that, and the organization of opening to the public in a newspaper was ready.

　 It was 1884 years that the weather report was announced for the first time in Japan.The contents of a forecast of those days put up for the police box in Tokyo not every prefecture but the thing which expressed the Japan whole country with the sentence 3 times per day.The contents of a forecast of those days put up for the police box in Tokyo not every prefecture but the thing which expressed the Japan whole country with the sentence 3 times per day. Although the announcement was interrupted for the relation of World War II after that temporarily, a radio weather report will revive two days after the end of the war. The forecast guidance service by a telephone will be started in television broadcasting and 1955 in 1953, or the weather report has been deeply concerned with our life by the communication-of-information medium of those days.

　The weather report became a very familiar existence because the investigative technique of communication and a weather bulletin progressed. The prediction method is also more exact by the past data having been stored, and it is expected that it becomes still more exact as time will pass from now on. However, too, seemingly an atmospheric change will be complicated and the hitting ratio is still only about 80%.
