2. Climograph - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climograph

   The patterns in a climograph describe not just a location's climate but also provide evidence for that climate's relative geographical location. For example, a climograph with a narrow range in temperature over the year might represent a location close to the equator, or alternatively a location adjacent to a large body of water exerting a ...

3. Weather - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather

   Weather is the state of the atmosphere, describing for example the degree to which it is hot or cold, wet or dry, calm or stormy, clear or cloudy. [1] On Earth, most weather phenomena occur in the lowest layer of the planet's atmosphere, the troposphere, [2] [3] just below the stratosphere.

5. Climatology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climatology

   It studies the periodicity of weather events over years to millennia, as well as changes of long-term average weather patterns in relation to atmospheric conditions. Climatologists study both the nature of climates – local, regional or global – and the natural or human-induced factors that cause climates to change.

6. Extreme weather - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_weather

   The main types of extreme weather include heat waves, cold waves and heavy precipitation or storm events, such as tropical cyclones. The effects of extreme weather events are economic costs, loss of human lives, droughts, floods, landslides. Severe weather is a particular type of extreme weather which poses risks to life and property.

7. Humid subtropical climate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humid_subtropical_climate

   A humid subtropical climate is a subtropical-temperate climate type, characterized by long and hot summers, and cool to mild winters. These climates normally lie on the southeast side of all continents (except Antarctica), generally between latitudes 25° and 40° and are located poleward from adjacent tropical climates, and equatorward from either humid continental (in North America and Asia ...

8. Madden–Julian oscillation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madden–Julian_oscillation

   The Pineapple Express, an MJO effect on North American weather patterns. The typical scenario linking the pattern of tropical rainfall associated with the MJO to extreme precipitation events in the Pacific Northwest features a progressive (i.e. eastward moving) circulation pattern in the tropics and a retrograding (i.e. westward moving ...

9. Precipitation types - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precipitation_types

   A weather front is the boundary of two air masses with different characteristics. Frontal precipitation is the result of frontal systems surrounding extratropical cyclones or lows, which form when warm and tropical air meets cooler, subpolar air. Frontal precipitation typically falls out from nimbostratus clouds. [5]
