This document provides information about weather and climate in Britain. It discusses how weather is measured, including temperature, precipitation, sunshine, wind, air pressure and cloud cover. It then explains some key factors that influence Britain's climate, such as its northern latitude, the Gulf Stream and differences in land elevation. Relief and frontal rainfall, as well as convectional rainfall, are described. The document also covers climate graphs and different air masses that affect Britain.

Good presentation recommended for educators teaching the Grade 12 Geography under Topic : The Atmosphere
GEOGRAPHY IGCSE: WEATHER MEASUREMENTS. It contains: difference between weather and climate, measuring the weather, what do we measure, temperature, precipitation, wind direction, Beaufort scale, cloud cover, air pressure, glossary.
here's a possible outline for a PowerPoint presentation about weather and climate:
Introduction
Definition of weather and climate
Factors that influence weather
Types of weather
Instruments used to measure weather
Climate
Definition of climate
Factors that influence climate
Differences between Weather and Climate
Examples of how weather and climate can impact human activities and ecosystems
Climate Change
Definition of climate change
Causes of climate change (e.g., greenhouse gases, human activities)
Effects of climate change
Recap of key points
Importance of being informed about weather and climate
Call to action for taking steps to address climate change

20. Relief rainfall Sea High land forces the air upwards where it cools and the water vapour condenses forming clouds. This in turn causes rain! Warm, moist air blows in from the Atlantic

22. Convectional rainfall 1. The sun heats the ground. 2. The hot ground heats the lowest air and the water from the ground is evaporated. 3. Water vapor rapidly rises, cools and condenses.
23. Frontal rainfall Warm, moist air is forced up over the denser cool air. Water vapor condenses forming clouds and bringing rain.

27. Drawing a climate graph. Months Temperature ( °C) Rainfall (mm) A bar-chart is drawn to show the average monthly rainfall. A line graph is then added to show average monthly temperatures.
28. Draw a climate graph! The person nearest the window is to draw the climate graph for Inverness – the person nearest the door is to draw the climate graph for Stornoway!
