To avoid any unforeseen events it is important to know the weather forecast
Weather forecasts are practices that have been carried out for hundreds of years, even before the Christian era, basically relying on the observation of cloud patterns, the wind, the time of year, although initially these were not very accurate.
It was not until the advent of new technologies (such as computers) that mathematical models began to be put into operation that made it possible to achieve more accurate predictions, becoming a fundamental factor for transport (by land, sea or air), agriculture, tourism, disaster prevention, public health and even military operations, beyond deciding whether or not to carry an umbrella or what outfit to wear.

The climates of Chile
In Chile, climates range from very cold to very hot, due to its geographical location and its particular territorial extension.
To the north of the Chilean country, from the region of Arica and Parinacota to Valparaíso, three types of climate stand out: tundra and desert in its cold and warm variants.
The tundra is characterized by a dry and always cold climate that occurs throughout the eastern part of the {part|region|northern zone of Chile, on the border with Bolivia and Argentina.
The hot desert is the one that predominates in most of the northern region of the country, it is characterized by having mild winters with nights that drop to zero degrees Celsius, with very hot summers and little rain.
While the cold desert occurs in the northern coastal regions of the country, where winters are very cold and summers are hot, here too rainfall is very low.
In central Chile, from the southern part of Valparaíso to Bío Bío, the two main climates are the cold semi-arid, the Mediterranean, and the cool-summer Mediterranean.
The cold semi-arid appears in the most northwestern area of the central part of the Chilean country, where winters are very cold, summers are warm or temperate, and rainfall is scarce.
The Mediterranean climate is the most abundant in the center of the Chilean country and is characterized by mild winters, hot summers and a marked rainy season.
For its part, the Mediterranean with cool summers appears in the most central part of Chile, the only difference with the previous climate is that its summers are cool, as its name says.
In the southern part of Chile, from Araucanía to Magallanes, the predominant climates are tundra, cold semi-arid, and oceanic.
The oceanic climate is the main climate in the southern zone, where winters are cold and summers are cool, with rain practically all year round.
