What is Dew point
The temperature in the atmosphere according to humidity and pressure.
Climate
The weather over a long period in a large area
Weather
The temperature humidity and chance of precipitation.
Precipitation
water,rain, sleet, snow, hail, and mist, that falls to Earth’s surface.
Types of precipitation include rain, sleet, snow, hail, and mist.

Air pressure
the force of air on a surface.
Air pressure is equal to the weight of a vertical column of air divided by the area of the base of the column.
Warm front
the boundary between an advancing mass of relatively warm air and a mass of colder air.
Cold front
the boundary between an advancing mass of relatively cold air and a mass of warmer air, the cold air acts like a plow forcing the warm air up.
High Pressure System
a region in which the atmospheric pressure is higher than in the surrounding areas.
Low pressure System
a region in which the atmospheric pressure is lower than in the surrounding areas.
Coriolis Effect
The invisible force that deflects fluids (gas/liquids), in the Northern Hemisphere to the right and in the Southern Hemisphere to the left. The impact of this Coriolis Effect is dependent
