When did meteorologists first start using weather maps?
Answer
Heinrich W. Brandes made the first weather map in 1815, but it was a little different from the ones now displayed on the nightly news. He drew a map based on data from the year 1783. He waited so long because it was the only way he could be certain the information was right.
