Non c'è da stupirsi che gli esseri umani si siano da sempre interessati alla meteorologia, data la sua utilità: da essa dipendono i raccolti, i voli aerei o la possibilità di riempire silenzi imbarazzanti in ascensore.
No es de extrañar que la Meteorología haya interesado desde siempre al ser humano, habida cuenta de su utilidad: de ella dependen las cosechas, la seguridad aérea o la posibilidad de rellenar incómodos silencios en el ascensor.
