What is weather?

• Refers to the state of the atmosphere at a specific time and place.
• The one thing that you can talk to anybody about
• If you don’t like the weather just wait around it will change in Texas
• What are some of the factors that affect the weather?

Air Temperature

• Temperature is the measure of the average amount of motion in particles.

Wind

a natural movement of air of any velocity; especially : the earth's air or the gas surrounding a planet in natural motion horizontally

Humidity

• The amount of water vapor present in the air
• Relative Humidity -is a measure of the amount of water vapor present in the air compared to the amount needed for saturation at a specific temperature

Clouds

• Masses of small water droplets or tiny ice crystals that float in the air.
• Three main types are cirrus, cumulus, and stratus.
• Other clouds are a mixture of these three main types.

Cloud Formation

Cirrus

• Cirro- means “curled” or “feathery”
• Form highest in the sky; are made up of ice crystals; and appear as curls, tufts, or wisps.
• Usually signal the end of clear weather.

Cumulus

• Cumulo- means “heaped” or “piled”
• Cottony clouds with flat, usually gray bases, and puffy, bright tops.
• Usually signal good weather, but if atmosphere is unstable, can build into towering clouds that produce showers and thunderstorms.

Stratus

• Strato- means “layer-like” or “sheet-like.”
• Low-lying, dull-colored clouds that form in layers or sheets.
• Usually bring drizzling rain or light-falling snow.

Alto

• A prefix meaning “middle range of clouds “ and used to describe clouds that lie from 6,500-18,500 ft. (1,980-5,640m).
