Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Bronze Unit Weather

Weather (wet̸h′ər) noun the general condition of the atmosphere at a particular time and place, with regard to the temperature, moisture, cloudiness, etc.

Where to find out about it? Internet – www.mwis.org.uk; www.metoffice.gov.uk; www.foreca.com Tourist information Mountain rescue bases Newspapers Television & radio Look around! Check the forecast as close to the time of the expedition as possible to obtain the most accurate information.

Air pressure determines wind and weather patterns. Weather systems Air pressure determines wind and weather patterns. High Pressure Low Pressure Warm in summer Cold in winter Colder Clear skies Cloudy Calm Windy; unsettled Sunny Rain or snow

Signs indicating weather change Temperature Wind Birds & animals Clouds

Basic cloud types Cirrus - thin, wispy, curly-shaped clouds Cumulo-nimbus- large, dense, towering clouds that cause rain and thunderstorms Basic cloud types Cumulus - puffy clouds Stratus - Layered, horizontal clouds with a flat base

Stratus are low-lying solid clouds they bring drizzle or light snow. Read the Clouds Cirrus clouds indicate fair weather in the immediate future – they can also be an indication of a change in weather within the next 24 hours. Stratus are low-lying solid clouds they bring drizzle or light snow. Cumulus clouds – if low clumps floating across the sky, there will be fair weather; vertical growth can indicate the start of a large storm. Cumulonimbus clouds are cumulus clouds that have grown vertically. These clouds bring stormy weather such as rain, lightning and hail.

Relating forecasts to observed conditions For every 100m of climb, the temperature will drop 1⁰C Forecasts do not take account of wind chill Hills are more likely to have their own micro-climate High pressure: Summer – protect yourself against the sun Winter – wrap up warm Low pressure: Layers; wet weather gear
