Weathercast refers to the prediction of weather conditions over a specific period in a particular location. The term is widely used by meteorologists and weather forecasters on television, radio, and internet platforms. However, there are other terms that can be used interchangeably with weathercast, such as forecast, weather prediction, weather report, and meteorological forecast. Weather forecast and prediction both refer to the same thing, while a meteorological forecast is more technical and often used in scientific contexts. A weather report is a brief summary of the weather conditions, while weathercast gives more detailed information, including temperature, humidity, and precipitation.
