SEASONS AND WEATHER
‘Climate is what we expect, weather is what we get’.
Mark Twain
Weather is the state of the atmosphere, to the degree that it is hot or cold, wet or dry, calm or stormy, clear or cloudy. Weather is something all humans in the world constantly experience through their senses, at least while being outdoors. There are socially and scientifically constructed understandings of what weather is, what makes it change, what effects it has on humans in different situations. Therefore weather is something people often communicate about. Weather generally refers to day-to-day temperature and precipitation activity, whereas climate is the term for the average atmospheric conditions over longer periods of time. Weather is driven by air pressure (temperature and moisture) differences between one place and another. On Earth's surface, temperatures usually range ±40 °C (−40 °F to 100 °F) annually. Common weather phenomena include wind, cloud, rain, snow, fog and dust storms. Less common events include natural disasters such as tornadoes, hurricanes, typhoons and ice storms.
Weather forecasting is the application of science and technology to predict the state of the atmosphere for a future time and a given location. Weather warnings are important forecasts because they are used to protect life and property. On an everyday basis, people use weather forecasts to determine what to wear on a given day.
Human attempts to control the weather have occurred throughout human history, and there is evidence that human activity such as agriculture and industry has modified weather patterns. The effects of weather modification may pose serious threats to many aspects of civilization, including ecosystems, natural resources, food production, economic development, and human health.
A season is a division of the year, marked by changes in weather, ecology, and hours of daylight. Our calendar-based seasons are generally recognized as spring, summer, autumn and winter. Hot regions have two or three seasons; the rainy (or wet, or monsoon) season and the dry season, and, in some tropical areas, a cool or mild season. In some parts of the world, special "seasons" are defined based on important events such as a hurricane season, tornado season, or a wildfire season.
