Meteorology is a division of the atmospheric sciences that entails atmospheric chemistry and atmospheric physics. The most prominent area of meteorology is weather forecasting. Meteorological studies are observable weather events that are explained by this complex and fascinating science. This phenomenal quiz will help you understand more about meteorology. Umbrella is optional and good luck with this quiz.
