Why does it rain so much in the UK? Add in as many answers as possible

Factors affecting weather and climate By the end of the lesson you will; 1)Have given the perfect definition of weather and climate 2)Have described the different factors that affect the weather and climate of locations around the world 3)Have explained why these climates exist 4)Have studied and described the climate of Costa Rica and UK

Defining weather / Climate Task 1.What do we mean by weather and climate 2.What is the difference? 3.Work in a pair Time; 2 minutes Weather is the day to day changes in the atmosphere- rain, wind, temperature Climate is the average weather conditions over a long period of time. It usually measures the temperature and rainfall in a particular area over 30 years

What factors affect weather; Task 1.Explain how each of the following will affect weather and temperatures; Large Distance from the Sea Continentality Height above sea level Proximity (close) to the sea Extension; 1.Which of the different factors are going to affect the climate and weather of Bournemouth? 2. Explain what impact they will have on weather and climate The land heats up faster than the sea. This means in the summer it will be hotter, but in the winter it will be cooler The higher the level of the town, the colder it will be The notion that oceans heat up and cool down slower than the land There will be a more mild climate – the sea will have some of the summer warmth in winter In the summer it will have some of the winter cool

Wind and weather! Task You need to remember as much of the diagram as possible Winds from the east are hot in the summer and cold in the winter Winds from the north are very cold as they are coming from the Arctic Winds from the south west have travelled over the ocean- they will bring lots of rain with them Winds from the west have come from the Atlantic = lots of rain Winds form the south come from Africa and over the Sahara. They are hot and bring good weather

Wind and weather Task 1.Complete the following table WindWeatherWhy NorthCold and wetComes over the ocean and so wet. Comes from the Arctic and so cold EastHot in summer, cold in the winter Affected by Continentality – middle of Europe is cold in winter and hot in summer SouthHotComes from the Sahara and Africa – hot and dry winds South west and west WetComes over the Atlantic and so very wet! Not cold though! Extension; What is a prevailing wind and how does it affect our weather?

Climate Graph Bar charts represent rainfall Line graphs represent temperature 2 different scales to be included

Climates around the world Task You have 2 climate graphs You need to produce a climate graph Costa Rica Time; 10 minutes

Describing and explaining Task onto each graph add In the following information; 1.What is the top temperature? 2.What is the bottom temperature? 3.What is the temperature range? 4.What is the average precipitation? 5.How would you describe the climate? Extension; What are the main differences between the climate graphs Key words Mild Extreme High Low Seasonal Trends Range

Why? Why does Moscow have hot summers and cold winters? Why would the climate of bournemouth be considered mild Why is there a lot of rain in the UK? Why does a northerly wind reduce the average temperatures? Why is an easterly wind cold in the winter and hot in the summer? Why do you get sand particles on Southerly winds? What direction is our prevailing wind?
