- - - - Unusually low rainfall
      - When the expected amount of rainfall doesn't fall for an extended period of time.
      - Impacts

        Fishing industry affected negatively
        
        Tourism affected negatively
        
        Environmental
        
        Biotic factors decease
        
        Soil loses nutrients
    - - Rain, thunder, wind, lightning
      - An extreme weather event that brings heavy rainfall, strong winds and other secondary impacts such as floods.
      - They form in the atlantic and pacific oceans.
        
        They form in between the Tropic of cancer and capricorn (hence the name suggests.)
      - oceans need to be 26 degrees to form a tropical storm.
      - Climate change will make tropical storms less frequent but more intense.
    - - Heavy snow, hail, sleet
    - - Big winds and rain
    - - Wind funnel, strong winds
- - - - Latin meaning- wisp of hair
      - Type of weather- sunny
    - - Latin meaning- layer
      - Type of weather- Rain, drizzle, damp weather
    - - Latin meaning- a pile
      - Type of weather- Sunny/ thunderstorm (mainly sunny)
  - - - Rain formed when the ground heats up during warm sunny weather.
      - How it's formed: evaporation-> condensation-> precipitation
      - Where it's formed: on flat land
    - - Rain formed when air is forced over a hill or mountain
      - How it forms
        
        The wind brings warm air form the sea
        
        The air is forced over hills
        
        The rising warm air cools and condenses to form clouds then precipitate
      - Where it forms- over hills and mountains
    - - How it forms
        
        When warm air meets cold air, they don't mix due to different densities.
        
        the warm (less dense) air is forced to rise over the cold air. This is called a "front".
        
        The warm air rises, condenses, and precipitates.
      - Where it forms- flat land
- - - - Meaning: How hot/ cold smth is
      - Given in : degrees Celsius
      - Measured by: Thermometer
    - - The amount of precipitation fallen in 24 hours
      - Given in: mm
      - Measured by: rain gauge
    - - How fast the wind is
        
        Given in: Kmph
        
        Measured by: anemometer
    - - Given in: N/E/S/W
      - Measured by: wind vane
    - - Amount of sunshine in a day
      - Given in: burnt sections
      - Measured by: Campbell stokes sunshine recorder
    - - Amount of force in the air
      - Given in: milibars (mb)
      - Measured by: barometer
  - - - Thunder= noise. Lightning= see lightning
      - Count the no. of secs between the lightning and thunder and divide it by 3 youll get how many km away the storm is.
      - You hear before you see, so...
- - - - The higher we are abv sea level, the colder the temp.
      - Altitude: How high we are abv sea level
    - - Places near the equator (0 degrees) have a higher temperature. Places further away have colder temperatures.
    - - Areas nearer to the sea are cooler in summer but warmer in winter. This is because in winter, the sea is warm as it has been heating up all summer.
