See numerical weather prediction, climate prediction; compare weather forecast.
A specific statement that something will happen in the future. "It will rain tomorrow" is a prediction, and so is "If the wind is westerly and I sleep till after 8am, it will rain tomorrow" - but "it may rain tomorrow" is not a prediction.
To foresee using observation, experience, or scientific reason.
the method of being able to ascertain future events
A projection in advance of an event based on observation, experience, or scientific reason.
an inference regarding a future event.

Prediction means to state what will happen or be observed as the result of some action or experiment. Predictions are based on previous observations, experience, or reasoning.
the act of foretelling on the basis of observation, experience, or scientific reason Testing for Water Quality
is a statement in advance of an event. That statement may be based on observation or experience.
A prediction is a statement or claim about likely future events or outcomes based on observation, experience or scientific reasoning.
the act of predicting (as by reasoning about the future)
a statement made about the future
a comparatively specific statement giving place, time, nature, and, ideally, size of an impending eruption
a good test of a hypothesis if it is very likely to be true if the hypothesis is true, and very likely to be false if the hypothesis is false
a more definitive statement
an idea about what we think will happen next
a person's chance of something happening to them in the future based on a model (like a map) that was created using people with the same disease whose outcome is known
a probabilistic statement that something will happen in the future based on conditions that are known today and assumptions about the physical processes that will determine these changes
a relatively precise statement giving the time and place of eruptions and measurements of ongoing monitoring results and only secondarily on a projection of past history
a scientific model to explain what will happen
a statement about a (potentially) observable quantity or event
a statement about what will happen which is derived from your hypothesis
a Statement made in advance that states the Results that will be obtained from Testing a Hypothesis, if the Hypothesis is TRUE
a statement of what is believed will happen in the future made on the basis of past experience or prior observation
a statement or claim that a particular event will come to pass in the future
a statement or claim that a particular event will occur in the future future is the portion of the timeline that is still to occur, i
a statement specifying the time, location and magnitude of an earthquake
a statement that a single earthquake will take place, with a very high probability
Predicting the time, place and magnitude of an earthquake.
a type of inference about the conditions of the environment in the future
Using computer models to forecast an occurrence, eg the weather or what is likely if a pilot makes an error.
(or “ to predictâ€)—a scientific model to explain what happens, and why it happens; an indication in advance based on observation, experience, or scientific reason.(back) | Quadrat—a small plot or sample of land that is representative of the particular habitat that is being studied. Often the plot of land is demarcated using a frame made of PVC pipe or other material.
A statement about a future event or action. (Book 3)
The forecasting in time, place, and magnitude of an earthquake; the forecasting of strong ground motions. Currently, there is no reliable method of predicting earthquakes.
prophecy, foretelling; something that is forecast
A statement that claims to foretell future events.
1. the act of predicting. 2. an instance of this; something predicted; prophecy.
A declaration made in advance based on observation, experience, or reason
The act of stating, telling about, or making known in advance, especially on the basis of special knowledge. OR Something foretold or predicted; a prophecy.
Prediction is defined as Use of a CFD model to foretell the state of a physical system under conditions for which the CFD model has not been validated. (AIAA G-077-1998) Prediction is going beyond the validation database and performing simulations of untested systems. This of course, is a tremendous power of CFD and of use in design studies. However, we would like to be able to estimate the accuracy of the predictions. Unfortunately, the verification and validation processes can not formally provide these estimates. The best one can do is point to the verification results and the most similar validation case.
A statement concerning an event that the diviner believes may happen in the future, based on the Tarot, statistics, study of sociological factors, astrology, or another form of prognostication.
(noun) An indication in advance based on observation, experience, or scientific reason. (A state in advance as to what one believes will happen, a foretelling.)
(... scientific model) scientific model to explain what happens, and why it happens.
To be able to predict future events before they occur.
If you foretell the future, you're making a Prediction. Mind-readers might, for instance, write down the name of a card that has yet to be chosen and refer to it as a Prediction.
A specific statement about a future condition. Usually made by non-experts (who would like to add qualifications or ranges). An example would be "who is going to win the football game this week".
Forecast or extrapolation of the future state of a system from current or past states.
A prediction or forecast is a statement or claim that a particular event will occur in the future.
