Americans have a lot to talk about. About the weather, for example.¹ Talking about the weather can be a very long talk, the talk about everyday weather and weather forecasts. People have always wanted to forecast the weather. In the old times they only guessed or used the old reports of what the weather was like in the past.

Today, people use radars, satellite pictures and computers. All these instruments help them to make weather pictures. Some people forecast the weather for a whole year or a whole season. There is the United States Weather Department in the USA. The department started its work in the year of 1870. It informs people of the latest forecasts. Each November, the Weather Department forecasts what the weather will be like. And each year, Americans read a forecast for the whole year in The Old Farmer’s Almanac² which writes about gardening, sports, astronomy, farming and the weather. The Almanac has worked since 1792.

Both the Weather Department and The Old Farmer’s Almanac use their information about past years. First, they take the old weather reports and the information from satellites, balloons, radar stations and ships at sea and put them into a computer. Then the computer gives a report. Such reports are very important for many Americans, they are important for farmers, pilots, astronauts, sportsmen, film makers and just for people who spend a lot of time outside.

Americans cannot like a lot of their weather, but they like to talk about it and they like to watch TV weather forecasts. And for all of them the weather reports are important, too.
