“Think About It” Your friend Carmella s you from Italy to ask what your weather and climate are like. Write an back to her covering the following points: How would you describe the recent weather in Everett? How would you describe the recent weather in Everett? How would you describe the climate of Everett? How would you describe the climate of Everett?

1.It’s very windy today and will be even windier tomorrow. 2.Last night, 12 inches of snow fell on Mount Hood, Oregon. 3.It’s usually rainy and cool in January in Everett. 4.Summers in Spokane are hot and dry. 5.Foggy days are common in Everett in December. 6.During November, over 15” of rain fell at SeaTac Airport. WEATHER CLIMATE

Data Review (Seattle/Everett vs Spokane) 1.Which city is warmer in summer? 2.Which city is colder in winter? 3.Which city is warmer in winter? 4.Which city is colder in summer? 5.Which city has the greatest range of temperatures? 6.Which city gets more overall precipitation? 7.Which city gets more snowfall? Analysis 8.In what ways might the physical features influence climate in the two places? 9.Why do you think Spokane gets more snow?

Washington Climates Revisit your warmup and cross-section: Olympic Mountains Cascade Mountains Puget Sound Pacific Ocean Spokane Everett Latitude Elevation Mountains Water Bodies

Mt. Kilimanjaro is a volcano in central Africa near the equator (3°S). The top is covered with ice and snow. How is this possible? High Elevation 19,340’

Systems… Think of climate factors working together as a system affecting climate. What are the major parts of the system that affect Washington climate? Water (Pac. Ocean & Puget Sound) Water (Pac. Ocean & Puget Sound) Mountains (Olympics, Cascades, Rockies) Mountains (Olympics, Cascades, Rockies) Winds from the west Winds from the west  Change one part and the climate system changes.

Systems…  Change one part and the climate system changes: Imaging there were no mountains in Washington. How would the climate of eastern Washington be affected?

Systems: Puget Sound Convergence Zone E What are the parts of this system? What are the effects of this system?

Local vs. Global Climate NW gardening climate zonesWA precipitation zones Local climate is affected by latitude, elevation, mountains and water bodies.

9 U.S. Climate Zones Dec – February U.S. Temperature Zones Local vs. Global Climate

Local vs. Global Climate Global Climate refers to the year-round average for the entire earth. Do these two maps show global climate?

When you say “climate” it’s important to define what scale you mean. Local vs. Global Climate

Vocabulary GLOBAL CLIMATE: Year-round average climate of the whole Earth. GLOBAL CLIMATE: Year-round average climate of the whole Earth.
