2. Explain the concepts
of weather, weather
patterns and
climate.
Describe the basic
meteorological
tools and their uses.
OBJECTIVES
Explain the impact
of understanding
weather patterns
on our daily lives.

3. Let's explore how weather
affects our daily lives and helps
us decide what to wear and
how to plan our activities. Let's
also learn about climate, which
tells us about the weather
patterns in a specific area over
a long period of time.
4. Weather is the state of the
atmosphere or the conditions in
the air around us. It includes
things like temperature,
precipitation, wind, and cloud
cover. Weather changes from
day to day and can be different
in various parts of the world.
WEATHER
5. Meteorologists are scientists who
study the weather and make
predictions about what the weather
will be like. They use tools and
instruments to collect data on
temperature, humidity, wind speed,
and other factors that affect the
weather. They analyze this
information to understand and
forecast weather patterns.
METEOROLOGISTS
7. Thermometers are
used to measure
the temperature of
the air.
Barometers measure air
pressure, which can
help predict changes in
the weather.
Weather satellites
capture images and
gather data about the
atmospheric conditions.

Anemometers are
used to measure
wind speed.

8. Meteorologists use a combination
of historical data, current
observations, and computer
models to predict the weather.
They analyze patterns, trends,
and changes in atmospheric
conditions to make forecasts.
WEATHER
PREDICTION
9. By studying how weather
systems move and interact,
meteorologists can predict the
future path and intensity of
storms, the likelihood of rain or
snow, and even long-term
climate trends.

PREDICTION
10. Climate refers to the average
weather conditions in a particular
place over a long period of time,
usually 30 years or more. It includes
information about temperature,
precipitation, wind patterns, and
other factors. Climate helps us
understand the typical weather
patterns of a region or country.
CLIMATE
12. Found near the equator, these
regions have warm
temperatures throughout the
year and high humidity. They
often have lush rainforests and
experience a lot of rainfall.
TROPICAL
CLIMATE
13. These regions have distinct
seasons, including warm
summers and cool winters. They
are found in the middle latitudes
and have moderate rainfall.
TEMPERATE
CLIMATE
14. Near the Earth's poles, these
regions are very cold and
experience long, harsh winters
with little daylight. They have
low precipitation and are
covered in ice and snow.
POLAR
CLIMATE
15. Deserts are hot and dry regions
with very little rainfall. They
have extreme temperature
ranges, with scorching hot days
and cool nights.
DRY/DESERT
CLIMATE
16. Why is it important
to learn about
weather patterns
and climate?
17. It helps us understand why
different weather conditions
occur and how they impact our
daily lives. It allows us to make
informed decisions about what to
wear, how to plan outdoor
activities, and how to stay safe
during extreme weather events.
UNDERSTANDING
18. Knowledge about weather
patterns enables us to prepare
for and respond to weather-
related hazards like storms,
floods, or heatwaves. We can
take necessary precautions to
keep ourselves and our
communities safe.
PREPAREDNESS
19. Farmers rely on understanding
weather patterns and climate
to make decisions about
planting, irrigating, and
harvesting crops. It helps them
manage their farms effectively
and ensure food production.
AGRICULTURE
20. Weather patterns and climate
are closely linked to the health
of our planet. By learning about
them, we develop a greater
appreciation for the
environment and the
importance of protecting it.
ENVIRONMENTAL
AWARENESS
21. Remember, weather and
climate affect us every day,
no matter where we live. By
learning about them, we can
become more knowledgeable
and responsible stewards of
our planet.
