3. TEMPERATURE

4. TEMPERATURE
• Temperature is the degree of
hotness of the atmosphere.

5. MEASURES OF TEMPERATURE AT….
• Meteorologists measure weather condition at
2pm as the maximum temperature of a day.
• Minimum temperature is taken just before the
sunrise.

6. DIURNAL RANGE OF TEMPERATURE.
• The difference between the maximum and minimum
temperatures in a day is called Diurnal range of
temperature.
Diurnal range of temperature = Maximum temperature –
Minimum Temperature

7. DIURNAL RANGE OF TEMPERATURE.
Diurnal range of temperature =
Maximum temperature – Minimum
Temperature
= 33 – 28
= 5°c

8. DAILY MEAN TEMPERATURE
The average temperature of a day is called Daily mean
temperature.

9. DAILY MEAN TEMPERATURE
= 30.5 °c

10. MAXIMUM-MINIMUM THERMOMETER
The instrument which is used to calculate the maximum
and minimum temperature in a day called Maximum-
minimum thermometer

11. MAXIMUM-MINIMUM
THERMOMETER

12. ISOTHERMS
The imaginary lines connecting places having equal
atmospheric temperature reduced to mean sea level
are called Isotherms.

13. ISOTHERMS

14. ACTIVITY
