Example 1: Hammer is a shaman-in-training and has a Weather Seer skill of 4. If he makes his rolls, he can tell that it will rain in the next 4 hours; the next four days will be first wet, then clearing; and the next four weeks will be generally mild.

Example 2: His mentor, Aelrick has a Weather Seer of 20. He can tell that it will rain this afternoon, then be clear and cold, followed by clouds tomorrow morning. It will be wet off and on, but mostly clear for the next 20 days, and that this will be a cold winter.

Long term weather prediction is hindered if the seer is in an environment with which they are unfamiliar.
