•Cloud Formation•Rainfall

Air TemperatureAir Temperature• How tempearture

affects the weather?

• When the day is sunny, air temperature is high.

• When it is rainy, air temperature is low.

Wind VelocityWind Velocity

• It describes wind speed and wind direction.

Wind SpeedWind Speed• It is measured by an
