- 8. the boundary of an advancing mass of warm air.
- 10. water which collects as droplets on a cold surface when humid air is in contact with it.
- 12. the atmospheric temperature below which water droplets begin to condense and dew can form.
- 14. the boundary of an advancing mass of cold air, in particular the trailing edge of the warm sector of a low-pressure system.
Down
- 1. the occurrence of a natural electrical discharge of very short duration and high voltage between a cloud and the ground or within a cloud.
- 2. an instrument for measuring and indicating temperature.
- 3. pellets of frozen rain which fall in showers from cumulonimbus clouds.
- 6. cloud forming a continuous horizontal gray sheet, often with rain or snow.
- 7. a storm with a violent wind.
- 9. an overflowing of a large amount of water beyond its normal confines, especially over what is normally dry land.
- 11. a thick cloud of tiny water droplets suspended in the atmosphere at or near the earth's surface which obscures or restricts visibility.
- 13. the perceptible natural movement of the air, especially in the form of a current of air blowing from a particular direction.
- 15. moisture condensed from the atmosphere that falls visibly in separate drops.
