I usually enjoy walking in the rain because it relaxes me. I like spending the long summer days out and sometimes even the short and warm nights. I like this season very much...

What's Causing Extreme Weather? Peter Miller National Geographic News Published August 20, 2012 Wondering what's causing all the extreme weather we've seen lately? The short answer, scientists say, is rotten luck and a warmer planet. It's not easy to shatter a record that has lasted for more than 75 years. But that's what happened last month, when a stubborn heat wave pushed July temperatures in the United States into uncharted territory. Not since 1895, when national record keeping...

The current headlines regarding “extreme weather events” occurring around the world and here in America left a curiosity about the history and technology used to forecast the Earth’s weather. Around the world meteorologists use technology such as satellites, infrared, radio, and radar transmissions, to help determine the most accurate forecast possible. However, even with the most advanced technology available, no predication is 100% accurate. Captain Robert Fitzroy of Great Britain started a...

Snow In A Farewell to Arms, Ernest Hemingway attempts to tell the unvarnished truth about war — to present an honest, rather than a heroic, account of combat, retreat, and the ways in which soldiers fill their time when they are not fighting. Yet Hemingway's realistic approach to his subject does not rule out the use of many time-honored literary devices. For instance, weather is to this day a fundamental component of the war experience. Hemingway depicts weather realistically in A...

The Effects of Weather on Our Mood Often we hear people talking about how weather affects their activities and eventually their moods. We do not need to be meteorologist nor psychologist to realize that there is a link between weather and mood. With prevalent studies and valuable research, many seem to think that the link is merely the fact that weather gives people insight into the views about life and how to understand them. Researchers found that the two types of important variables to...

Late November Analysis The poem Late November by Archibald Lampman has 14 lines in total and uses an Italian, or Petrachan styled rhyming scheme of a-b-b-a, a-c-c-a. d-e-f-f-e-d.

It is difficult to define if this poem is narrative or descriptive as the author later puts himself into his own description of the environment, but for the majority the poem is rather...

Climate change refers to change in average weather patterns and can be caused by both natural processes and human activities. In the past, the earth's climate has been affected by natural factors such as changes in solar output and the discharge of volcanic ash. In fact, the planet has been through many periods of cooling and warming. The last period of major cooling ended about 10,000 years ago. The world’s glaciers are retreating and disappearing, extreme weather is occurring more often...

‘Low pressure atmospheric systems have more of a short term impact than high pressure systems.’ Discuss. Low pressure atmospheric systems are also known as depressions or cyclones and they form in mid- and high-latitudes. They are formed by the mixing of cold and warm air, the warm air is lighter, so it rises above the denser, cold air and forms a centre of low pressure. High pressure atmospheric systems are also known as anticyclones and have very different characteristics to depressions....
