    What is the difference between weather and climate?


    Weather describes the day-to-day conditions of the atmosphere. Weather can
    change quickly - one day it can be dry and sunny and the next day it may rain.
    Climate describes average weather conditions over longer periods and over large
    areas.
    The table below shows the world climatic zones.

    Measuring the weather


    Weather affects us in many ways. It affects what we do and what we wear, how we
    travel and even our moods. Meteorologists measure weather conditions in
    different places and use this information to report and make forecasts about
    future weather conditions. This is useful because people can be warned about
    hazardous weather conditions such as storms and floods.
    What do we measure?
     Temperature
     Precipitation, eg rainfall
     Wind speed and direction
     Cloud cover and visibility
     Air pressure
     Humidity (amount of water vapour in the air)
     Sunshine

    Temperature is measured in Celsius (°C) using a thermometer. The thermometer


    must be shaded from direct sunlight and should have air circulating around it. The
    thermometers can be placed in a Stevenson Screen. This is a wooden box with
    slatted sides, a sloping roof and legs to keep the screen off the ground. It is
    painted white to reflect the sun.

    Precipitation is measured using a rain gauge. This is a funnel
    inside a graduated container. The depth of the rain in
    millimetres can be read from the side of the container.

    Wind direction is reported by the direction it is blowing from,


    according to the compass. Wind blowing from the west is
    travelling eastwards so is called a westerly wind, not an
    easterly wind. It's measured by wind van

    Wind speed can be measured using an anemometer. The


    strength of the wind is measured on the Beaufort scale.

    Windsocks typically are used at airports to indicate the direction and


    strength of the wind

    Air pressure. Air is light but because there is so much


    of it above us, it exerts a pressure on us. Air pressure is
    measured by a barometer. The units used are millibars.
    The greater the reading, the higher the pressure.

    Cloud cover is measured in units called oktas. Each okta


    represents one eighth of the sky covered by cloud.
