Weather Instruments

Weather affects us. It affects our activities, health, the clothes
we wear, and some occupations.
Most of us probably predict what kind of days it would be by
looking at the clouds. But meteorologists use different weather
instruments to predict the weather.
In this section, you will learn more about the different weather
instruments.

Get ready and answer the activities that follow.

 What is It?

Learning Circuit !

Weather is the condition of the atmosphere at any given time

and place. There are different weather instruments that are being
used to predict the weather for a day. Meteorologist
is a man who studies or deals with atmosphere and
weather. They used different weather instruments to
predict the weather for the day.

A thermometer is used to measure

temperature. A room thermometer has numbers
etched on each side. Air temperature is read in
degrees Fahrenheit or ˚F and degrees Celsius or ˚C.
The right side shows the Celsius reading. Its highest
number is 100 while its lowest is 0. The number near
the end of the red column tells the temperature of the
air. Red alcohol or mercury-is a substance that is
very sensitive to heat. When the air is hot, the liquid
expands and rises. When the air is cold, the liquid
becomes heavy and sinks. There are other kinds of
thermometer such as clinical, room, and scientific. Temperature is the
Figure 5. Thermometer
hotness and coldness of air around us. It differs from place to place
and from time to time. The angle at which the sun’s rays strike the
surface affects the temperature of a place. The time of the day and the
time of the year also affect the temperature. When there is no
disturbance, temperature is at highest at noon time and its lowest at
6:00 am.
Wind also affects the weather. Wind
is the moving air over Earth’s surface. A
wind vane is a device that tells the
direction of the wind. Wind direction is the
direction from which the wind is blowing.
The four letters E, W, N, S represents the
four directions: East, West, North and
South. If the arrowhead of the wind vane
faces the north direction, we say, the wind
is blowing north. It is the North wind. If the Figure 6. Wind vane

arrowhead points between North and East, we say, the wind is
blowing North-east.

An anemometer measures wind speed.

There are four cups mounted on arms attached
to a rotating shaft. The cups turn around as they
pushed by the wind. As the wind blows faster,
the cups turn faster, too. When the wind blows
gently, the cups of the anemometer turn slower.
A change in speed indicates a change in wind
Figure 7. anemometer
speed.
A wind sock can show both the wind
speed and wind direction. The wind sock rotates
on a pole and shows the direction of the wind. If
the sock is blowing straight out, it shows that the
wind is strong. If the sock is limp, there is a very
light wind.
