Weather predictions, based on observation and mathematical modelshelp predict the state of the atmosphere at a given time and location from records such as temperature, humidity, pressure, precipitation or wind.
Weather forecasts are practices that have been carried out for hundreds of years, even before the Christian era, basically based on the observation of cloud patterns, wind, and the time of year, although initially these they were not very successful.
It was not until the emergence of new technologies (such as computers) that mathematical models began to be implemented that made it possible to achieve more precise predictions, becoming a fundamental factor for the transportation (land, sea or air), agriculture, tourism, disaster prevention, public health and even military operationsthis beyond deciding whether or not to carry an umbrella or what outfit put on.

Uruguay It is a country with a temperate-humid climate, with warm summers and cool winters that also, due to its geographical location and its proximity to the ocean, presents a double rainy season between spring-summer and autumn.
The country has an average temperature of 17 degrees a year, however, there is a very marked difference in its territory: The northwest region where Artigas, Salto and Rivera are located is warmer with an average of 18 degrees; while the southeast where Montevideo, Maldonado, Rocha and Lavalleja are located are cooler, with an average of 16 degrees.
Given the strong winds that occur in the nation, summers are less extreme and winters are cooler, which also causes cold waves that especially affect the northern and southern areas of the center. Up to 25 frosts can occur in one month alone..
Only on January 15, 2022, the country registered a new record for highest temperature in its history, when the Institute of Meteorology of Uruguay (Inumet) indicated that the maximum in Florida had reached 44 degrees, equaling the mark of January 20, 1943. On the contrary, the coldest was that of Mercedes on July 29, 2007 with -7.6 degrees.
Scientists point out that due to the effects of climate change, Uruguay could have an increase in temperature by up to three degrees in the year 2100as well as an increase in precipitation.
