help in the preparation of a seasonal weather forecast. Observed teleconnection patterns are beneficial in preparing seasonal weather forecast because they allow for long range forecasts. By leveraging the relationship between large-scale oceanic and atmospheric changes between specific areas and regions climate scientist are able to create relatively accurate long range predictions. These forecasts are not only important because they explain prevailing weather patterns but also because they provide

warming is believed to be responsible for numerous storms across the world intensifying. Global warming is believed to be causing more severe hurricanes‚ floods‚ and now monsoon season. As the temperatures across the globe continue to rise the intensity of the monsoon storms is continuing to build. If the temperatures continue to rise‚ the storms can become even more severe because they thrive off of hot temperatures. As the temperatures from global warming continue to cause the pressure that results in

Do you believe climate change is a myth? Discuss. Climate is the average weather for an area over a very long period of time. So this would include the regular weather seasons‚ for example winter‚ spring‚ summer and fall. In Trinidad and Tobago we have the dry and rainy season. I don’t believe that climate change is a myth because there is evidence of climate change worldwide and Trinidad and Tobago is no exception. Climate change is occurring‚ humans have a part to play in it and this change

affects extreme temperature events‚ as well as drought and extreme rainfall.” Due to climate change the weather is not only horrible but is getting worse due to the world becoming warmer‚ and is causing extreme weather. Justin Worland also illustrates “Climate change increases the intensity of precipitation because warm weather leads more water to evaporate forming wetter clouds.” The warmer weather due to climate change has allowed for clouds to be able to store more water and when it’s raining season;

The diversity in climate will result in a wide range of weather conditions that stretch from relatively calm weather to dangerously destructive storms. Tornados are one of weather’s most phenomenons’ that have been known to occur in almost any climate on Earth; despite the great variation in weather patterns among the world’s many climates.
