Usage Note
Prévoir is conjugated like voir but is irregular in some tenses — notably the future je prévoirai (not je prévoisrai). It is used for planning (prévoir une réunion, to schedule a meeting) and forecasting (prévoir la pluie, to forecast rain). The past participle prévu as an adjective means 'planned' or 'scheduled' (comme prévu, as planned).
Examples
"Il faut prévoir du temps pour le trajet."
Natural Translation
You need to plan time for the journey.
