THE WEATHER

Is the sate of the atmosphere at a particular time and place. It´s determined by temperature, precipitation and wind.

-The temperature is high when it's hot, and low when it's cold. We measure it with a thermometer.

-Precipitation is the amount of water that falls from clouds. Rain, snow, and hail are different types of precipitation. We measure the amount of water with a pluviometer or rain gauge .

-Wind is moving air. Breezes are light winds. Hurricanes are extremely strong. We measure the speed of wind with an anemometer, and its direction with a weather vane.

-Barometer tells us about the air pressure which can indicate if it will rain

CLIMATE

Climate is the temperature and precipitation in a plce over a long period of time.

-The climate is warmer far from the Poles.

-It is sually colder at high altitudes.

-The climate is often mild near the sea.

We use different instruments to forecast the weather
