The conditions that we are experiencing now makes our weather. It is only short term over a few days.
When our weather has been studied for many years we gain an insight into what it will probably be like in the future. This is called our CLIMATE.

2. What elements make up our weather ?

9. What are isotherms?

10. The Urban Effect
Look closely at these maps.What are they telling you?

11. Maritime Effect in Winter
Because the sea is warmer in winter
Places at the coast are warmer than places inland
