Weather Log

This log can be used to fit your needs. Record available information on the lob, using your own measurements or off of the TV weather report or radio. Measurements should be made at the same time each day. Look at the weather each day, and see how the previous day's weather was different.

Try to forecast the next day's weather, using the following basic guidelines.

Air Pressure – If air pressure is falling, this means a low pressure area is approaching. Low pressure can bring rain or snow, or at least an increase in cloudiness. If the pressure is rising, high pressure is approaching. Fair weather should follow.

Cloud Types – Small cumulus clouds means fair weather. Stratus clouds that appear to be getting thicker could bring rain or snow. Cirrus clouds that look like feathers are associated with fair weather. Cumulus clouds that are growing tall means a thunderstorm may occur.

Wind Direction – Wind coming out of the north many times occurs after a cold front has passed, bringing cooler temperatures and fair weather. A south wind will bring warmer temperatures, and a chance that rain or snow may be approaching. Wind out of the east means unsettled weather is coming.
