"What should I wear today?"

"It has rained on my birthday for the past three years."

"Bloemfontein has experienced the worst drought since records began more than 120 years ago."

The ocean heats up slower than land. When air heats above land, it rises and cooler air above the ocean moves onto the land, creating a cool sea breeze and keeping temperatures lower and more moderate.

The equator receives direct sunlight and causes areas around the equator to be warm all year long. The poles receive less direct sunlight and cause these areas to be cooler all year long.

The higher you are above sea level, the less air molecules there will be. This results in cooler temperatures at high altitudes and warmer temperatures near sea level.

Mountains act as a barrier for moisture. When clouds move from the ocean towards the mountains, the air rises quickly and cools, resulting in precipitation.

As the air at the equator is heated, it expands and moves towards the colder poles. Cold air at the poles moves towards the equator. This happens all year long due to unequal heating of the Earth’s surface.
