Across
- 2. a visible mass of condensed water vapor floating in the atmosphere, typically high above the ground
- 4. pellets of frozen rain which fall in showers from cumulonimbus clouds
- 5. light rain falling in very fine drops
- 7. the process of turning from liquid into vapor
- 8. a deposit of small white ice crystals formed on the ground or other surfaces when the temperature falls below freezing
- 11. a colorless unstable toxic gas with a pungent odor and powerful oxidizing properties, formed from oxygen by electrical discharges or ultraviolet light. It differs from normal oxygen (O2) in having three atoms in its molecule
- 13. a luminous cloud or a halo surrounding a supernatural being or a saint

Down
- 1. a severe snowstorm with high winds and low visibility
- 3. a breeze blowing toward the sea from the land, especially at night, owing to the relative warmth of the sea
- 6. a narrow variable band of very strong predominantly westerly air currents encircling the globe several miles above the earth. There are typically two or three jet streams in each of the northern and southern hemispheres
- 9. a line on a map connecting points having the same atmospheric pressure at a given time or on average over a given period
- 10. water vapor that condenses above land as the air cools following sunset.
- 12. a cloud of tiny water droplets suspended in the atmosphere at or near the earth's surface limiting visibility, but to a lesser extent than fog; strictly, with visibility remaining above 1.5 miles (1 km)
