LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

 To identify the different types of weather.

 To describe the causes in changes in the
weather over a period of time.
 To communicate how different types of
weather affect activities in the community.
 To enumerate and practice safety and
precautionary measures in dealing with
different types of weather.
 TYPES OF WEATHER
• Weather is the condition of the atmosphere
at a given place and time.
• Depending on sunshine, heat, cloudiness,
wind, and rain, weather changes on a daily
basis.
• Seasons and climate largely affect the
weather.
• Here are five types of weather: sunny, cloudy,
windy, rainy, and stormy:
1. Sunny days are usually pleasant as most
people like doing activities outdoors when the sun
is up and shining. When there are no clouds in
sight, the sun is able to shine through and keep
the environment warm.
Sunny days are not always warm. In fact, they
can be cool too, depending on the time of year.
2. When the weather’s cloudy, the rays of
the sun are blocked from reaching the
Earth’s surface.
• It can be warm on a cloudy day when
the clouds trap in heat near the
surface.
•A cloud is a huge mass of water vapor.
•Clouds are often associated with rain but
cloudy days do not equate to rainy days.
3. A rainy day occurs when the
temperature drops and the water
vapor in the cloud cools and forms
raindrops. However, when warm
air mass rises to the sky and cold
air rushes to fill the gap, expect to
have a windy day.
4. Wind gusts form when air is pushed
into smaller spaces of vacuum.
When there is a strong wind and heavy
rain, the weather is stormy.
5. A storm is sometimes accompanied
by thunder and lightning.
Thunder is a loud rumbling noise heard
due to rapidly heated air expanding.
 Causes in changes
Weather
1.The primary cause of different types of
weather is how air masses interact with each
other.
2. An air mass is a huge area of air that shares
the same characteristics.
3.The two main types of air mass are hot and
cold.
4.Hot air masses are areas of hot air that move
5.Cold air masses are areas of cold air that
move in the same direction.
6.The area where two or more air masses
meet is called a front.
7.When cold air pushes under a warm air
mass, a cold front happens.
8.The warm air is pushed up above the cold
air mass, which causes the warm air to cool
and condense, resulting in a mild temperature
and rainstorm.
9.When a warm air mass
moves over a cold air mass, a
warm front happens.
10.The warm air rises, creates
clouds and condenses into
light rain or snow.
 Impact of weather to people’s daily activities
1.Weather affects people’s daily activities
and decisions, but it has the biggest
impact on people whose work largely
depends on weather conditions.
2.Pilots, construction workers, farmers,
and bus drivers are all really affected by
weather.
3.People once looked to plants and
animals for hints about the weather.
4.Before it rains cows lie down, pine
cones open up, frogs croak at a faster
pace, ants form a line, and sheep’s
wool uncurls. Before technology, folks
also made forecasts by studying the
clouds.
