Weather & Climate

Weather and climate are essential components of our environment. Weather is influenced by factors such as wind speed, temperature, precipitation (including rain, snow, sleet, and hail), and cloud cover. Anemometers measure wind speed, while the water cycle plays a crucial role in weather patterns. Climate, measured over a long period, varies by climate zones: low-latitude, mid-latitude, and high-latitude. For example, Hawaiian weather combines low-latitude and mid-latitude climates, reflecting unique seasonal changes. Understanding these elements helps us adapt to daily weather and comprehend long-term climate trends.

  1. Weather & Climate

  2. Weather begins with the sun

  3. Some Weather Factors Wind. This tool measures wind speed. It is called an anemometer. Precipitation. Rain, snow, sleet and hail are all forms of precipitation. Temperature. Temperature is how warm or cold it is outside. Cloud Cover. There are many types of clouds that form in different conditions.

  4. Weather changes every day!

  5. Seasons on Earth

  6. Hò oilo - Wet Season • Native Hawaiians • recognized only two seasons Kau- Dry Season

  7. The water cycle affects both climate and weather

  8. Climate is weather measured over a long period of time Weather = clothes for the day Climate = clothes in a closet

  9. Climate Zones: Low-Latitude Climates affected by equatorial tropical air masses

  10. Climate Zones: Mid-Latitude & Subtropical Climates affected by two air masses: tropical air moving toward poles and polar air masses moving toward equator

  11. Climate Zones: High-Latitude Climates dominated by polar and arctic air masses

  12. In which climate zone does Hawai‘i belong? mid latitude high latitude Hint:Hawai‘i belongs in a combination of two climate zones low latitude

  13. In which climate zone does Hawai‘i belong? mid latitude high latitude Hint:Hawai‘i belongs in a combination of two climate zones low latitude

  14. The End
