Across
- 3. perceptible natural movement of the air, especially in the form of a current of air blowing from a particular direction
- 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.
- 7. vane/a revolving pointer to show the direction of the wind, typically mounted on top of a building.
- 8. a quantity representing the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere or in a gas.
- 9. tremendous flash of lightning"
- 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.
- 13. form of precipitation consisting of ice pellets, often mixed with rain or snow.
- 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.
- 16. rain/rain that freezes on impact with the ground or solid objects.
- 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. of frozen rain which fall in showers from cumulonimbus clouds
- 2. water vapor frozen into ice crystals and falling in light white flakes or lying on the ground as a white layer.
- 5. prolonged period of abnormally low rainfall, leading to a shortage of water.
- 6. action or process of precipitating a substance from a solution.
- 10. storm with a violent wind, in particular a tropical cyclone in the Caribbean.
- 12. an overflowing of a large amount of water beyond its normal confines, especially over what is normally dry land.
- 15. point/the atmospheric temperature (varying according to pressure and humidity) below which water droplets begin to condense and dew can form.
