At first glance weather forecasting appears just a topic of
practical relevance. An analysis of its main aspects shows
the presence of conceptual topics which are rather interesting
in complex systems:

a) limits of extreme reductionism

b) limits of naive inductivism

c) relevance of old (apparently very far) classical issues

d) role of models at different scales

e) importance of the proper level of description.
