You probably know about weather, but do you know what it actually is, how it works, and why it changes depending on where you are in the world? In Weather for Kids, you will learn that there are a number of factors that affect the weather outside. It’s not just about how hot or cold it is. Think about what it feels and looks apart from hot or cold, such as wet or dry, clear or cloudy, and calm or stormy. This video discusses what causes all of these effects.

You can use a thermometer to figure out how hot or cold it is outside quite easily. Should you weather a coat? Or is it time for a swim and a swimming suit would be more appropriate? Temperature is only one factor that affects the weather. Have you ever heard of humidity? The amount of water vapor in the air determines the humidity levels. Humidity refers to how wet or dry it is outside. The weather in hot desert likely has a very low humidity level, if any at all. However, in a tropical rainforest, even if it’s warm as well, it may be very wet instead of dry.

Another factor is air pressure. What air pressure affects is the presence of clouds. Basically, places that experience high pressure will show clear skies. Areas with low pressure have lots of clouds. To measure air pressure, you would need a barometer. Finally, there is the factor of wind. Wind and wind speed relate to storms. If it’s calm outside, it is likely that there isn’t much wind. Or if there is, it’s not very quick; it’s a light breeze. On the other hand, storms imply a lot of fast wind. Have you ever noticed that when it’s stormy, you also tend to feel the wind?

Is the weather actually becoming more extreme? – R. Saravanan https://paranormalactivity.org/is-the-weather-actually-becoming-more-extreme-r-saravanan/ https://paranormalactivity.org/is-the-weather-actually-becoming-more-extreme-r-saravanan/#comments Tue, 25 Aug 2020 15:01:09 +0000 https://paranormalactivity.org/is-the-weather-actually-becoming-more-extreme-r-saravanan/

Explore the differences between weather and climate – what they are, how we predict them, and what those predictions can tell us.

From 2016 to 2019, the world saw record-breaking heat waves, rampant wildfires, and the longest run of category 5 tropical cyclones on record. The number of extreme weather events has been increasing for the last 40 years, and current predictions suggest that trend will continue. So, is the increase in extreme weather due to random chance, or changing climate? R. Saravanan investigates.
