First, I assume you mean weather forecasts by using the term reports.

Because if you are an anal person, it is excruciatingly painful to get it precisely right. If you were to forecast a high of 50 and your measuring site said that the high was 51, you're wrong. If you were to forecast rain showers and the closest rain shower happened 10-15 miles away from your measuring site, then you're wrong again. If you forecast 2-4 inches of snow and the area you forecasted for got 3-5 inches of snow, you're still technically wrong if you're an anal person.

If for some chance you meant reports of weather conditions, that depends largely on where the site is, the quality of instrumentation, and whether or not the site was chosen correctly as to not be affected by trees, buildings, roads, people, etc. Look at link 1 for a good example of how poor instrumentation siting can lead to misleading results.

Re-read Enginerd.
The REPORTS are never wrong: they tell what had happened.
The predictions, on the other hand, have considerably improved since the sixties.
However, the aviation weather is much more precise, but can't go much further than 48 hours...

most weather reports are NOT precisely wrong
even if you mean weather PREDICTIONS, most of them are not precisely wrong

back in the 60's, weather reports really were hit or miss

nowadays, with satelites and radar systems, and communications systems, weather REPORTS are nearly perfect, and weather predictions are very good

remember, if the weatherperson says 75% chance of rain, that means, on average, that 3 our of 4 times he makes that prediction it will rain.

statistical analysis reveals that modern weather forecasting is quite accurate and is certainly not mostly wrong and nowhere near precisely wrong

There are so many things that go into making a forecast. Sometimes the tools the forecaster uses doesn't pick up on something that is happening in the atmosphere, so the forecast ends up being wrong. I would like to see you make an accurate forecast when you're not under a high pressure system. Those are easy....sunny and hot.

the wheather report is purely based on the probability that came so far...... its is predicted that it may happen. the geological society has the database having all the wheather report in hand. then they make a calculation of doing the whether report using the probability... did u know the whether report is purely based on the probability not the precious one....

Well it is mostly because that can be an estimated prediction and people can't control what happens nature, besides weather can change in seconds or minutes!

not all of them are wrong.a statistic shows that over 70% of weather reports are right =) but it is hard to tell what the weather will be a week ahead.

because Christmas is a time were people experience obligated to provide presents and be happy.in the time of something of the 12 months, they are allowed via society to be indignant, unhappy, depressing, depressed, and on my own. yet on Christmas, once a 12 months, they "ought to" be beneficiant. also, Christmas is over marketed so people of different religions will purchase gives you and stuff for different people. And no, it truly is not incorrect to acquire something that has been given to you.

they are not god to predict nature...

they do not have a thorough knowledge about it even though they have studied....

or jus that they blindly assume things and simply ignore the machine which predicts

they are not alert ....
