Weather
Across
- 2. The composite or generally prevailing weather conditions of a region, as temperature, air pressure, humidity, precipitation, sunshine, cloudiness, and winds, throughout the year, averaged over a series of years
- 4. An interface or zone of transition between two dissimilar air masses
- 7. To predict a future condition or occurrence
- 8. A body of air covering a relatively wide area, exhibiting approximately uniform properties through any horizontal section
- 10. A large body of water moving in a certain direction
- 13. A transient storm of lightning and thunder, usually with rain and gusty winds, sometimes with hail or snow
- 14. A tropical cyclone having sustained wind speeds of at least 74 miles per hour: form in waters with surface temperatures of about 80℉, intensifying as temperatures rise
- 15. A map showing weather conditions over a wide area at a particular time, compiled from simultaneous observations at different places
Down
- 1. A large-scale, atmospheric wind-and-pressure system characterized by low pressure at its center and by circular wind motion
- 3. The force exerted by air, whether compressed or unconfined, on any surface in contact with it
- 5. Winds that blow around Earth in given directions over long distances
- 6. An abnormal rise in the level of the sea along a coast caused by the onshore winds of a severe cyclone
- 9. An instrument that measures atmospheric pressure
- 10. The vertical transport of atmospheric properties, especially upward
- 11. A gaseous envelope surrounding the Earth
- 12. The amount of water vapor in the air
- 13. A potentially violent and destructive system of atmospheric circulation, characterized by a long, funnel-shaped cloud extending toward the ground and made visible by condensation and debris
