Question

in how many ways you can predict the weather

Answer 1

you can predict whether without weather forecast by 4 ways

Detect the direction of the wind

Watch smoke from a fire

Watch for calm conditions. 

Check for humidity

Answer 2

Watch smoke from a fire. The air pressure determines what direction the smoke will go. In high pressure, the smoke will go directly up into the air. If the pressure is low, it will spiral back down around the fire. If you see the smoke spiraling back down, bad weather is likely on the way.[2]When smoke spirals downwards, it means that bad weather is very close. The low-pressure system is already in place over your area.

Watch for calm conditions. Before a storm, the low-pressure system can push out the area’s normal wind patterns. This creates a temporary calm before the storm begins. You’ll notice a lack of wind, which creates a stillness over the area. If you're near water, it will be calm and still, as well. This calm indicates a coming storm.At this point, you should be able to observe other signs of a storm, such as dark clouds.[3]

Take a deep breath. Close your eyes and smell the air. Smells become wet right before a storm, making them stronger.[4] Before a storm, you should also notice a compost smell as plants release their waste. If you start to smell a compost scent, it likely means that a storm is coming.If you are near a swamp, you will likely smell swamp gases right before a storm.[5] Swamp gas smells like rotten eggs because it comes from decaying vegetation.[6]

Check for humidity. High humidity often precedes a storm, so watch for signs of high humidity, such as frizzy hair, curling leaves, and swollen wood. These signs can tell you that a storm is on the way.[7]Pine cones can also tell you if it’s humid because they will stay closed if the humidity is high but will open if the air is dry.[8]If you live in an area that always has high humidity, rely on other observations to predict the weather.
