, Temperature is a measurement of the amount of kinetic energy present in the
air, which manifests itself physically through the experience of heat or cold.
The scales typically used to measure temperature, is Celsius, Fahrenheit, and
Kelvin.
The instrument used to measure temperature is called a thermometer.
Air pressure is another essential element of weather, especially when it comes
to creating or changing atmospheric conditions.
It is also one of the critical variables used to make accurate weather forecasts.
Air Pressure is the result of the pressure created by the weight of the air in
the Earth’s atmosphere.
It is also called a barometric pressure, named after the instrument used to
measure air pressure.
The barometer is the instrument used to measure air pressure.
The movement of air (wind) is one of the main driving forces of weather.
The majority of major and even extreme weather events like cold & warm
fronts, clouds, thunderstorms, and hurricanes are all driven by wind.
Wind is the large-scale movement of air from an area of high to an area of
low pressure in the atmosphere.
The speed and strength of wind are determined by the distance between the
low pressure and high-pressure areas, as well as the difference in air pressure.
The anemometer is the instrument used to measure wind speed.
A wind vane (or weather vane) is the instrument used to measure wind
direction.
Humidity is another weather element that cannot be seen but can be felt.
Humidity is the amount of water vapor that is present in the atmosphere at
any specific time.
, It not only plays a big part in weather formation but also directly influence our
physical comfort levels.
The hygrometer is the instrument used to measure wind speed.
Precipitation is water in all its different states, which is formed after
condensation turned water vapor into its solid form, which falls to the ground
after it becomes too heavy to stay suspended in the air.
Precipitation can take the form of rain, snow, hail, or graupel.
Precipitation is primarily the result of evaporation and condensation.
Instrument for Measuring Rainfall: A rain gauge is the instrument used to
measure rainfall. It is essentially a measured container that captures rain and
measures the amount that falls over a set period of time.
