answer that describes the differences between weather and climate. Weather and Climate both take the same measuring elements of the environment and atmosphere (Temperature‚ humidity‚ pressure‚ wind speeds‚ precipitation‚ etc.). According to Sturman & Tapper (2006)‚ weather is “the state of the atmosphere at a particular point in time within a defined areas.” This in turn is opposed to Sturman & Tapper’s (2006) take on climate which is “the synthesis of weather observed over a period of many years.” As

Weather Patterns and Climate Change Every place‚ country‚ city‚ region has its own climate. Climate plays one of the important roles in people’s life. Climate is defined as the average weather‚ which means variety of weather conditions as rain‚ snow‚ hail‚ sun‚ and wind over period of time about 30 years that can be measured in any particular place.( IPCC Third Assessment Report - Climate Change 2001; editor:A.P.Baede) Climate change is a variation of average weather. There are 2 causes of climate

Checking out the weather report is a daily activity for many of us. At the very least‚ we want to know how hot or cold it will get‚ or whether there will be rain or snow. Some of us live in places where severe weather can produce dangerous conditions -- flooding‚ tornados‚ blizzards or fogs‚ so we pay attention to weather related warnings. And these days‚ weather reports are getting more sophisticated‚ with pollen counts and particulates for allergy sufferers‚ and UV indices to tell you whether you

coordination between managements is poor‚ and the efficiency of emergency rescue is low in snow-icing weather. It also analyzes the characters of road transportation safety in snow-icing weather‚ and summarizes the national and foreign disposal strategies to deal with snow-icing traffic. Then three effective strategies that can reduce the impact on road transportation safety by snow-icing weather have been received‚ including the provision of information‚ traffic control‚ and dealing with the snow-icing
