Weather describes the state of the atmosphere at any particular time.
Weather can be described in terms of temperature, precipitation (snow, rain & hail), wind speed and direction, visibility and cloud amounts.
Climate describes the average weather of a particular part of the world at different times of the year, in Britain we would expect cool summers and mild winters with moderate rainfall throughout the year.
Rainfall, snow, hail and fog. Rainfall is measured in a rain gauge. Some rain gauges record rainfall automatically whilst others are emptied everyday by an observer
The direction and strength of the wind are both measured A wind vane measures direction An anemometer records strength Wind strength can also be measured using the Beaufort Scale
Fair weather is produced by high pressure
High pressure forms anticyclones
Air sinks and prevents the formation of rain clouds
Anticyclones cause heatwaves in summer and frosty/foggy mornings in winter
BBC Weather Forecast comprises:
● Gale Warning
● General Synopsis
● Area Forecasts - Wind speed and direction - Sea state - Visibility - Weather

Excellent, took me ages to find such a succinct and complete video.

Thank you for explaining so clearly and with visuals. I now understand backing and veering regarding wind direction. 😊

Very well described, thank you.

[@CoastalSafety]

Great to hear your feedback. Very much appreciated. How are our other videos?

[@1962gms]

Hi, I would say the content is explained well. Initially I wondered if it might be too simple, but the explanations and examples are good so I felt that even though I know the information, it helped reinforce previous learning. I have only watched 3 so far, but I would commend your style. ⛵️

[@CoastalSafety]

In a short video ... we try to get the main points across ... much more debate in the classroom. 😎😎😎

[@dronzerrose873]

I understand the Shipping Forecast on BBC Radio 4 and the reports are pretty much the same as the Inshore Waters, But the Coastal Weather Stations has a different report. Does anyone know how the Coastal Weather Stations work?

[@CoastalSafety]

These days of "deficiency' they are probably automatic ... and remote 😎😎😎

[@tonyas1506]
