Weather and Climate

We use a hygrometer to measure this

The first international standard for measuring
it was created by Admiral Beaufort in 1806.

To measure this, we use a rain gauge

Water that falls to the ground from the
atmosphere

It describes how much water vapour is
present in the air

A measure of how hot or cold the air is

It is moving air and its speed can be
measured using an anemometer

We use a thermometer to measure this

It can be measured in Celsius / Centigrade or
Fahrenheit degrees.

Can you name two types of liquid precipitation?

All the
atmospheric conditions presented in a specific
place and time

Polar, tropical and
temperate

when
we talk about
temperature, humidity, wind and
precipitation

It describes the main
weather characteristics of a place.

Water, air and heat from the Sun work
together to make

They are cold all year around

Countries with this climate lie
between the Tropic of Cancer
and the Tropic of Capricorn.

They have mild weather with
hot summers and cold
winters.

The most densely populated
parts of the world lie in this
region.

They are warm all year round
and have rainy seasons.

Winter brings darkness and
temperatures as low as -50 ˚C

Mediterranean-Continental climates
have very low temperatures in

Mountain climates have very low
temperatures in
winter

Mediterranean climates have
high temperatures in the
summer

Oceanic climates are
