Weather forecasting, which is technically called meteorology, is a science that deals with the atmosphere and its phenomena but especially with the weather.

Who can best fulfill the job description of a meteorologist than God – who, in the beginning put it all into being.

In the Word of God, God has used the elements as "figures" of speech" and also used the elements as they "actually are" (1) to teach, (2) show, (3) demonstrate and (4) use His power.

God's Meteorology includes these elements in Clouds – – Dew and Frost – – Drought – – Heat and Cold – – Mist and Vapor – – Storms, which include hailstorms, Rain, Tempests, Water Sprouts. Then there is Thunder, Lightning, Wind and Whirlwind.

In the chapters that follow one will see the use of some of these in specific situations and show how they can and do relate to our everyday living.
