What is a ‘Northeaster’?
The Earth’sseasons are due to the tilt of its axis.
Shorter days (with less sunshine) and longer nights cause cooler temperatures.

The weather conditions during a blizzard are winds over 35 mph, and poor visibility.
A monsoon is six months of rain in the tropics.
Scientists have learned that most hurricanes form after the ocean water warms up past 80°F, so hurricanes are more likely to form during months when water temperatures are above this temperature.
Doppler weather radar can track the details of a hurricane and thus provide warning to the population of an area threatened.
A foehn wind is a relatively warm and dry wind descending a mountain front.
Arctic cold fronts cause high evaporation rates as they pass over the Great Lakes, triggering heavy snowstorms once they hit land.
