Learn about World Weather
Weather is the specific condition of the atmosphere at a particular place and time. It is measured in terms of such things as wind, temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, cloudiness, and precipitation. In most places, weather can change from hour-to-hour, day-to-day, and season-to-season. Climate is the average of weather over time and space. A simple way of remembering the difference is that climate is what you expect (eg cold winters) and 'weather' is what you get (eg a blizzard).

World Almanac Video's Guide to Extreme Weather
Amazon Price: $21.99 (as of 10/07/2008)
People are fascinated by the weather. Extreme climates, such as that of Antarctica, attract adventurers who pit their stamina against the unrelentingly harsh environment. Armchair weather-watchers are curious about the oddities: the hottest place on Earth, the driest, the rainiest. Episodes of violent weather remind us that much in the natural world is still outside of human control. This series explores the many effects of extreme weather, from inhospitible locations to killer storms. It also discusses how meteorologists use increasingly sophisticated technology to crack approaching storms and issue life-saving warnings before nature takes its course.
