Getting Started – “What Do We Do?”
There are two main tasks each day:
1) Entering weather information for the day.
The weather data comes from…
- The school weather station, your observations, and N.B.
highway cameras
2) Completing an additional learning activity.
- Your responses are entered directly into this slideshow in most
cases. See also the worksheets.
- If you complete the activity for a specific day, you can move on
to the next activity.
Use the Links in the “Look Into It” section on the
bottom right hand corner to answer the questions.

Activity #4 – Temperature, Pressure and Humidity
In addition to complaining about rain and snow, people often describe the weather as “too hot,” “too
cold,” or “too humid.” The combination of temperature and humidity, along with wind conditions and
other factors can have a big influence on how we perceive the weather.

Mare’s tails are actually cirrus clouds. They are high in the atmosphere and
are pulled into long streamers resembling the tail of a mare. The mackerel
scales are altocumulus clouds. If a sailor noticed these, he knew that
within 12 to 36 hours, the weather would be way too rough to be out on

Folklore:
A ring around the moon brings rain or snow. Cirrus and Cirrostratus clouds
typically proceed low pressure systems bearing moisture. These clouds also
contain ice crystals that refract the light giving the impression of a ring.
By counting the number of stars contained within the ring, you can fairly
accurately predict how far away the rain or snow will be. Each star
represents approximately 24 hours of time. A faint star is 12. This never
seems to fail.
