A scale for estimating wind speed based on observed conditions of the sea or land. It ranges from 0 (calm) to 12 (hurricane)...

A small, intense downdraft that produces damaging winds at the surface, typically lasting a few minutes and often associated...

A large body of air having similar horizontal temperature and moisture characteristics.

A cold core high is a high-pressure system with cold air at its center. These systems are typically associated with clear...

A strong, downward wind caused by a localized column of air sinking rapidly, often resulting in damage similar to that caused...

A cold core low is a low-pressure system where the coldest temperatures are found near the center. These systems are often...

The mass of air surrounding the earth and bound to it more or less permanently by the earth's gravitational attraction.

A weather watch means there is a risk of weather hazards in the near future, which could pose a threat to life/property....
