What are the important indicators to describe weather phenomena?

Temperature is an important index to describe weather phenomena.

The temperature mentioned in the weather forecast refers to the air temperature measured in the open air without direct sunlight (usually measured by blinds). The highest temperature is the highest temperature in a day, generally appearing in14-15; The lowest temperature is the lowest temperature in a day, usually before sunrise.

Influencing factors of temperature:

1, latitude position. Usually the equatorial region has the most precipitation, and the precipitation near the poles is the least. Near the Tropic of Cancer, there is more precipitation on the east coast of the mainland and less precipitation on the west coast.

2. Land and sea location. In temperate regions, there is more precipitation in coastal areas and less precipitation in inland areas.

3. Topographic factors. Usually, there is more precipitation on windward slopes and less precipitation on leeward slopes in mountainous areas.

4. Ocean current factor. Warm current plays a role in warming and humidifying the climate in coastal areas. For example, the formation of maritime climate in western Europe directly benefits from the warm and humid North Atlantic ocean current. The cold current plays a role in cooling and dehumidifying the climate in coastal areas. For example, the cold current on the west coast of the mainland (southern hemisphere) played a certain role in the formation of desert environment on the west coast of Australia and the Pacific coast of Peru.
