Weekly Weather Forecast: What's in Store for 2025
Weather forecasts guide our daily plans, from choosing outfits to preparing for extreme conditions. As we head into the last week of June 2025, understanding the weather outlook can help you stay prepared. This blog post explains how forecasts work, provides a general weather outlook for the week of June 26 to July 2, 2025, and shares tips to navigate changing conditions. Since weather varies by region, I’ll focus on key trends, particularly for India, with global highlights, based on data available as of 3:20 PM IST, June 26, 2025.
How Weather Forecasts Are Made
Weather predictions combine science and technology:
Data Sources: Satellites, radar, weather stations, and buoys collect real-time data on temperature, humidity, wind, and pressure.
Computer Models: Advanced models like the GFS and ECMWF simulate future weather patterns, factoring in current conditions and historical trends.
Meteorologist Expertise: Experts refine model outputs to account for local geography and recent weather events.
Forecast Accuracy: Short-term forecasts (1–3 days) are highly reliable, while medium-range (4–7 days) forecasts may shift due to weather’s unpredictability.
For the most accurate updates, check trusted sources like the India Meteorological Department (IMD) at mausam.imd.gov.in for India or weather.gov for the U.S.
