What is Weather?
We live and breathe in a blanket of air known as the atmosphere. The atmosphere is
constantly moving and changing all around the earth. These changes are called the
weather.
No matter if it is rainy, snowy, stormy, or warm and sunny, weather affects everyone
all the time! That is why the science of weather, or meteorology, is so important!
Scientists called meteorologists study patterns in the weather and try to forecast, or
predict, what it is going to be like in the future. As we gain more understanding about
weather and with advances in technology, these predictions have become more accu-
rate.
When we talk about the weather, we are actually describing the conditions in the at-
mosphere and the air around us at a particular moment. If you look outside now you
might see that the weather is cloudy or sunny, or that it is wet or windy.
Weather is made up of different things, such as:
- Wind direction
- Wind force
- Precipitation (rain, snow)
- Temperature
- Sunshine
- Cloud
This weather station provides the necessary instruments for you to record these
weather elements and make your own weather forecast.
