Weather - Basics

Weather is an exciting matter. Not only that you are offered new variants of it every day when you look out of the window - no, the processes, causes and effects behind the daily rain showers, the wind or the long sunny periods are interesting not only for amateur meteorologists.

Have you ever wondered what is meant by warm and cold fronts in the weather report or what the colorful spiky lines on the weather map mean? Are you interested in how a low pressure area is formed, how rime creates tree-like ice crystals or what sheet lighting is?

In the coming Dailys, we'll give you a crash course in meteorology, check out how thunderstorms and tsunamis are formed, who Beaufort was and what is so special about the foehn wind.

And now we hope you enjoy our weather basics.
