WEATHER is the state of the
atmosphere at a given time and
place with regard to temperature,
air pressure, humidity, wind,
cloudiness, and precipitation. The
term weather is restricted to
conditions over short periods of
time; conditions over long
periods are referred to as
climate.
CLIMATE is the common,
average weather conditions at
a particular place over a long
period of time. We learn about
different climates around the
world. Deserts have a hot and
dry climate while the Antarctic
has a very cold and dry
climate.
METEOROLOGY is the study of
weather.
CLIMATOLOGY is the study of
climate.
TEMPERATURE is a measure of the degree
of hotness of the air. It is generally highest
in the tropics and lowest near the poles. It’s
the measure of how cold or hot
somewhere is.

Please take-note of the

uses/functions of the
different weather
instruments.
THERMOMETE measure
R air
the s Mos
thermometers are
temperature. t
closedcontaining liquids suchglas
tubes as
alcohol or mercury. When sair
around the tube heats the liquid,
the liquid expands and moves
up the tube. A scale then shows
what the actual temperature is.
BAROMETE
R
measures air pressure.
tells us whether or not
It

the pressure is rising or

falling. A rising barometer
means sunny and dry
conditions, while a falling
barometer means
stormy and wet
conditions.
ANEMOMETE
Reasures wind speed.
m
The cups catch the wind.
Turning a dial attached
to the instrument. The
dial shows the wind
speed.
WINDSOCK is used
to measure or to get
the wind direction. It
Indicates the Direction
that Wind Originates
From.

HYGROMETER measures
the water vapor content of
air or the humidity. High
Humidity Indicates Warmer
Temperatures, While Low
Humidity Indicates Cooler
Temperatures
RAIN
GAUGE the amount of
measures
rain that has fallen over
a specific time period.
Rain-Gauges indicate the
amount of Precipitation
that is released by the
atmosphere
.
CLOUD
MIRROR
is used to measure
the percentage of
cloud cover. a cloud
mirror estimates the
amount of cloud
coverage in the sky.
WEATHER
MAPS
indicate atmospheric
conditions above a
large portion/part on
the Earth’s surface.

WEATHER STATION is the place where all
data about the weather are being gathered
and evaluated. They are also the one who is
responsible in informing the people about the
daily weather condition of the country.
Inthe Philippines we also haveour
own weather station. Do you know what is
