 Weather, state of the atmosphere at a particular time and place. The elements of weather
include temperature, humidity, cloudiness, precipitation, wind, and pressure. These elements are
organized into various weather systems, such as monsoons, areas of high and low pressure,
thunderstorms, and tornadoes. All weather systems have well-defined cycles and structural
features and are governed by the laws of heat and motion. These conditions are studied in
meteorology, the science of weather and weather forecasting.

Weather differs from climate, which is the weather that a particular region experiences
over a long period of time. Climate includes the averages and variations of all weather elements.

Causes of Weather

All weather is due to heating from the Sun. The Sun emits energy at an almost constant
rate, but a region receives more heat when the Sun is higher in the sky and when there are more
hours of sunlight in a day. The high Sun of the Tropics makes this area much warmer than the
poles, and in summer the high Sun and long days make the region much warmer than in winter. In
the Northern Hemisphere, the Sun climbs high in the sky and the days are long in summer, around
July, when the northern end of Earth’s axis is tilted toward the Sun. At the same time, it is winter
in the Southern Hemisphere. The southern end of Earth’s axis is tilted away from the Sun, so the
Sun is low in the sky and the days are short.

The temperature differences produced by inequalities in heating cause differences in air

density and pressure that propel the winds. Vertical air motions are propelled by buoyancy: A
region of air that is warmer and less dense than the surroundings is buoyant and rises. Air is also
forced from regions of higher pressure to regions of lower pressure. Once the air begins moving,
it is deflected by the Coriolis force, which results from Earth’s rotation. The Coriolis force
deflects the wind and all moving objects toward their right in the Northern Hemisphere and
toward their left in the Southern Hemisphere. It is so gentle that it has little effect on small-scale
winds that last less than a few hours, but it has a profound effect on winds that blow for many
hours and move over large distances.

Weather Forecasting
 Since the early 20th century, great strides have been made in weather prediction, largely
as a result of computer development but also because of instrumentation such as satellites and
radar. Weather data from around the world are collected by the World Meteorological
Organization, the National Weather Service, and other agencies and entered into computer
models that apply the laws of motion and of the conservation of energy and mass to produce
forecasts. In some cases, these forecasts have provided warning of major storms as much as a
week in advance. However, because the behavior of weather systems is chaotic, it is impossible to
forecast the details of weather more than about two weeks in advance.

Intense small-scale storms, such as thunderstorms and tornadoes, are much more difficult
to forecast than are larger weather systems. In areas in which thunderstorms are common, general
forecasts can be made several days in advance, but the exact time and location of the storms, as
well as of flash floods and tornadoes, can only be forecast about an hour in advance.
