Weather
Across
- 1. A device used to measure temperature.
- 6. A high-pressure system characterized by clockwise winds in the Northern Hemisphere and counterclockwise winds in the Southern Hemisphere.
- 9. Visible collections of water droplets or ice crystals in the atmosphere.
- 11. A thick cloud of tiny water droplets suspended in the air near the ground, reducing visibility.
- 12. The temperature at which air becomes saturated with moisture, leading to condensation or dew formation.
- 14. The long-term pattern of weather conditions in a particular region or on Earth as a whole.
- 15. A prediction of future weather conditions based on current atmospheric data and meteorological models.
- 18. A rapidly rotating column of air extending from a thunderstorm to the ground, often causing severe damage.
- 19. Ice crystals or snowflakes that fall from the sky when the atmosphere is below freezing temperature.
- 25. High-speed winds located in the upper atmosphere that can influence weather patterns.
- 26. A strong storm system that brings heavy precipitation to the northeastern United States, often accompanied by strong winds.
- 27. Larger balls or chunks of ice that form in severe thunderstorms.
- 29. Any form of water, liquid or solid, that falls from the atmosphere to the Earth's surface. This includes rain, snow, sleet, and hail.
Down
- 2. A weather phenomenon characterized by lightning, thunder, heavy rain, and sometimes hail.
- 3. A term used to describe hurricanes, typhoons, and other strong tropical storms.
- 4. A technology that uses radio waves to detect precipitation and monitor severe weather.
- 5. A measure of how hot or cold the atmosphere is, usually expressed in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.
- 7. An instrument used to measure atmospheric pressure, which is an indicator of weather changes.
- 8. The leading edge of a cooler air mass that replaces warmer air, often bringing abrupt weather changes.
- 10. Small pellets of ice that form when raindrops freeze before reaching the ground.
- 13. A spacecraft equipped with instruments to monitor and observe Earth's weather and climate.
- 16. A boundary between two air masses with different temperatures and humidity levels, often associated with weather changes.
- 17. A low-pressure system characterized by counterclockwise winds in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise winds in the Southern Hemisphere.
- 20. A prolonged period of excessively hot weather.
- 21. A powerful tropical storm with strong winds and heavy rainfall, typically originating over warm ocean waters.
- 22. The movement of air in the atmosphere, often described by its speed and direction.
- 23. The leading edge of a warmer air mass that replaces cooler air, often bringing more gradual weather changes.
- 24. A device used to measure wind speed.
- 27. The amount of moisture or water vapor present in the air.
- 28. Water droplets that fall from the sky when the atmosphere is above freezing temperature.
