well maybe the weather balloon will determine the air pressure. When you know the air pressure you can determine whether the weather condition is either good or bad. If the temperature is good then the air pressure will be high. If the air pressure is low then the temperature will be bad. Hope that helps! :)

Answer 11

Weather balloons are used to measure the temperature, dewpoint, and winds at various atmospheric levels higher than the surface. The data that's retrieved can be used to help forecast the local weather--like whether thunderstorms will form and how strong they will be--but more importantly the data is fed into computer models that simulate the weather for upcoming days, and that's how forecasts are made. The balloon data is an important part of the "initial conditions" that drive the numerical weather prediction programs. I hope this helps you:)
