Abstract
In the second paper in this series, we review how, following the advent of the computer, highly simplified numerical weather prediction models were developed during the 1950s and 1960s, examples of which are shown. Although models provided guidance on the possible behaviour of synoptic systems for up to 2–3 days ahead in time, forecasters still faced the major challenge of inferring the distribution of weather. Satellite imagery proved a valuable addition to the forecasters' toolkit.
