Back

A barometer is used to measure atmospheric pressure, which helps predict weather changes.

Front

What does a hygrometer measure?

Back

A hygrometer measures the humidity level in the air.

Front

What does a high barometric pressure indicate?

Back

High barometric pressure typically indicates clear and sunny weather.

Front

What does a low barometric pressure indicate?

Back

Low barometric pressure often indicates cloudy weather and precipitation.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and humidity?

Back

Higher temperatures can hold more moisture, leading to higher humidity levels.

Front

What weather condition is likely when the temperature is below freezing and humidity is high?

Back

It is likely to snow.

Front

What is the significance of a hygrometer reading of 92%?

Back

A hygrometer reading of 92% indicates very high humidity, which can lead to precipitation.

Front

What does a temperature of 13 degrees C suggest about the weather?

Back

A temperature of 13 degrees C (55 degrees F) suggests mild weather, possibly clear.

Front
