Help video: https://safeyoutube.net/w/jf8c
air pressure, temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction are recorded for a specific area
the temperatures that happen during one season are recorded daily
weather conditions are measured at thousands of locations every day for 30 or more years
weather is recorded over a few weeks in one area
How does latitude impact climate?
