Across
  1. 3. perceptible natural movement of the air, especially in the form of a current of air blowing from a particular direction
  2. 4. the occurrence of a natural electrical discharge of very short duration and high voltage between a cloud and the ground or within a cloud, accompanied by a bright flash and typically also thunder.
  3. 7. vane/a revolving pointer to show the direction of the wind, typically mounted on top of a building.
  4. 8. a quantity representing the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere or in a gas.
  5. 9. tremendous flash of lightning"
  6. 11. front/the boundary of an advancing mass of warm air, in particular the leading edge of the warm sector of a low-pressure system.
  7. 13. form of precipitation consisting of ice pellets, often mixed with rain or snow.
  8. 14. front/the boundary of an advancing mass of cold air, in particular the trailing edge of the warm sector of a low-pressure system.
  9. 16. rain/rain that freezes on impact with the ground or solid objects.
  10. 17. thick cloud of tiny water droplets suspended in the atmosphere at or near the earth's surface which obscures or restricts visibility (to a greater extent than mist; strictly, reducing visibility to below 1 km).
Down
  1. 1. of frozen rain which fall in showers from cumulonimbus clouds
  2. 2. water vapor frozen into ice crystals and falling in light white flakes or lying on the ground as a white layer.
  3. 5. prolonged period of abnormally low rainfall, leading to a shortage of water.
  4. 6. action or process of precipitating a substance from a solution.
  5. 10. storm with a violent wind, in particular a tropical cyclone in the Caribbean.
  6. 12. an overflowing of a large amount of water beyond its normal confines, especially over what is normally dry land.
  7. 15. point/the atmospheric temperature (varying according to pressure and humidity) below which water droplets begin to condense and dew can form.
