For their size and impact, hurricanes are often called the greatest storms on Earth. They expend a tremendous amount of energy through the water cycle, and through wind, to maintain the balance of the atmosphere. Known by different names...

Good weather forecasts save lives, but scientists are worried that 5G transmissions could drown out frequencies measured by weather satellites, setting weather forecasts back decades.

From 2016 to 2019, the world saw record-breaking heat waves, rampant wildfires, and the longest run of category 5 tropical cyclones on record. The number of extreme weather events has been increasing for the last 40 years, and current...

In this video, we explore the fascinating topic of measuring wind speed. We learn about the units used, the different types of anemometers used to measure wind speed, and the importance of understanding wind speed in various aspects of...

Weather lessons come alive for students in simple experiments and demonstrations. Kids show the basic principles of weather in these easy experiments and demonstrations. Using everyday materials, watch how to make a tornado in a bottle....

Blow into 'How Do We Measure Wind Speeds?' to catch how scientists track the air's invisible dance! A quick, breezy adventure into weather wonders, just right for curious kids.

The Global Fire WEather Database (GFWED) integrates different weather factors influencing the likelihood of a vegetation fire starting and spreading. It is based on the Fire Weather Index (FWI) System, which tracks the...

Weather forecasting requires observation. Beyond the things we can see, hear and sense, meteorologists need detailed data to observe distant weather, whether that is distant along the ground, or distant up into the sky. Weather...

Air and moisture in different quantities comprise our atmosphere. The sun is the energy source that causes temperature change, wind, clouds, rain, dew, blue skies and rainbows. See how to build an instrument called a "sling psychrometer"...

A curious pre-school child asks questions to a big kid about how weather works. Every answer is enlightening yet leads to another question. The little child learns that wind is air that moves, that may be gentle or strong and even...

In this video, we explore the importance of measuring rainfall and its various applications. We also learn about the different methods of measuring rain, such as using rain gauges or radar technology. Additionally, we discover how...

This video demystifies the concept of climate, differentiating it from weather. It explains that while weather is a short-term atmospheric condition, climate represents long-term patterns in a region. The video covers various climate...

The video “Weather Types” discusses weather, types of precipitation, and common weather patterns.

For their size and impact, hurricanes are often called the greatest storms on Earth. They expend a tremendous amount of energy through the water cycle, and through wind, to maintain the balance of the atmosphere. Known by different names...

This video explores the daily condition of the Earth's atmosphere. The factors that influence the atmosphere and cause weather are discussed. Special emphasis is given to the global processes that generate weather patterns. Other...

Predicting Weather demonstrates how air pressure, barometric pressure, humidity, wind speed, and precipitation determine the current weather.

A rainy day spent inside helps a little boy learn about clouds and the water cycle from his mother. He sees the value of rain to plants, animals, people and the planet, even when the rain is not convenient for him. As the rain...

Dr. Forrester explains different types of tools used to predict weather.

The atmosphere is dynamic and forever changing to maintain balance. The ingredients of air, sunlight and water allow life to exist on Earth, but they also generate calm scenes like rainbows, as a tornado ends. All storms move moisture,...
