What does the weather include?

Weather is the general name of atmospheric conditions (such as cold and warm, wind and rain, dry and wet, sunny and so on). ) and its changes in a short time in a certain area. Weather system usually refers to the atmospheric motion system with typical characteristics, such as high pressure, low pressure, high pressure ridge and low pressure trough, which cause the change and distribution of weather. All kinds of weather systems have certain time and space scales, and they are intertwined and influence each other. The combination of many weather systems constitutes a large-scale weather situation and hemispheric and even global atmospheric circulation.

Weather refers to the ever-changing atmospheric state, which is not only the atmospheric state in a certain time and space, but also the continuous change of atmospheric state in a certain time interval. So it can be understood as a general term for weather phenomena and weather processes. Weather phenomenon refers to various natural phenomena in the atmosphere, that is, the comprehensive expression of the spatial distribution of various meteorological elements in the atmosphere (such as temperature, pressure, humidity, wind, clouds, fog, rain, snow, frost, lightning, hail, etc.). ) in an instant. The weather process is the change process of weather phenomena with time in a certain area.
