1 Weather Tools

2 Anemometer  Used to measure wind speed  Can predict when and where weather is moving to next  Units of measurement: miles per hour (mph) or kilometers per hour (kph)

3 Barometer  Used to measure pressure  Often used to predict wind and storms  Units of measurement: millibars (mb) or inches of mercury (in) or millimeters of mercury (mm)

4 thermometer thermometer  Used to measure temperature  Units of measurement: degrees Fahrenheit (ºf) or degrees Celsius (ºc)

5 Rain Gauge  Measures amount of rainfall  Units of measurement: Inches (in) or centimeters (cm)

6 Hygrometer (or sling psychrometer)  Measures humidity (moisture), dewpoint  Units of measurement: degrees Fahrenheit (ºf) or degrees Celsius (ºc)

7 Weather Vane  Measures wind direction  Expressed in cardinal directions:  North (N), South (S), East (E), West (W), NS, SW…etc.
