Reference excerpt

John Morales is a meteorologist born in Schenectady, New York and raised in Puerto Rico. He attended the meteorology program at Cornell University and was then hired by the National Weather Service in 1984. In 1991, he was hired by the Spanish language television network Univision and founded his company Climadata Corporation. He has won three Emmy Awards: in 1993 for "48 Horas Antes de la Tormenta" (English: "48 Hours Before the Storm"); in 2005 for his coverage of Hurricane Wilma; and in 2010 for a special program about the upcoming hurricane season. Morales has the Seal of Approval from both the American Meteorological Society (AMS) and the National Weather Association (NWA). He was given the prestigious distinction of Certified Consulting Meteorologist from the AMS. In 2003, he became Chief Meteorologist at WSCV in Miami. In May 2009, John made the switch to English language television, joining NBC O&O WTVJ in Miami. The meteorologist, whose station covers Miami-Fort Lauderdale, went viral on Oct. 7, 2024, when he broke down during a live broadcast as he told his audience the barometric pressure had dropped 50 points in 10 hours as Hurricane Milton bore down upon his community. A week earlier, before Milton, he had published a story about Hurricane Helene, entitled, "Hurricane Helene isn’t an outlier. It’s a harbinger of the future." In it, he described the reactions he got from some viewers about being a "climate militant” and "overhyping emerging weather threats." In June of 2025 he warned viewers that his forecasts during hurricane season might not be as accurate as they had been in past years due to the Trump administration's cuts to the National Weather Service.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with John Morales (meteorologist)

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what John Morales (meteorologist) claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In earth science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to John Morales (meteorologist) before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about John Morales (meteorologist) ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of John Morales (meteorologist)

In research: John Morales (meteorologist) appears in earth science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses John Morales (meteorologist) in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: John Morales (meteorologist) is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics American television weather presenters, Atmospheric scientist stubs, Cornell University College of Agriculture and Life Sciences alumni, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for John Morales (meteorologist) outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
