An English admiral 160 years ago founded the Meteorological Department of Board of Trade and was the first to be financed by the government and could predict the weather patterns with a few hours in advance. The data collected in coastal towns was telegraphed to the MDBT London Office, when a storm was nearing land, he could issue an alarm to the closest port where an alarm was raised in the harbour. Nowadays meteorologists use computer simulation, matemathics calculations and sensors to measure and predict the weather.
