I live in Tanzania in East Africa. I was driving through Sumbawanga in the west of the country and I think I saw a double tornado. We have dust devils, but I've never heard of tornados. Please let me know if I can send you the photos to confirm?

Asked by Hally over 10 years ago

Hi, Hally. Multiple tornadoes can occur within one thunderstorm complex. I would do a Google search for some pictures.

I have a question that I have been dying to ask a Meteorologist for some months.

My question is, what city in the Midwest with a population of 100,000 or more has an EXACT replica of Florida summers?

Asked by Jeffrey over 9 years ago

Hmmm...is this trivia or research? If trivia, don't know, which city?

Hi! I have a screenshot of the weather and my question is why does the dewpoint follow the air temperature, both up and down? (email me at ilupariello@ccsuvt.org for the picture) This will get me extra credit so your help is greatly appreciated!

Asked by Izzy over 9 years ago

Hi Izzy-Happy to look at the picture of you post it someplace. The dewpoint doesn't really follow the temperature. It is a measure of the amount of moisture (water vapor) in the air. The colder the air gets the drier it so the dewpoint goes down. Warmer air can hold more water vapor so the dewpoint can rise. Great question, thanks.

What is the range of temperature when an average temperature is given? eg. a stated average low of 40 degrees, what is the average range of actual low temperature 10 degrees? etc...

Asked by johnemmerich over 9 years ago

Interesting question. There is no range of temperatures. The average low for a given day is figured using the temperature on a given date using the historical record, usually between 20 and 100 years depending on the availability of the data.

I go for bike rides alot. I noticed though that December/January is always cloudy/rainy, like 5 of 7 days, it get's really old, there's no sun! Why is this?

Asked by exposcandal about 8 years ago

The weather is dictated by large shifting atmospheric waves that move around the planet. Your area is in a spot that favors storm development right now. Bundle up!

Do you think that mankind will eventually be able to CHANGE the weather? I've heard about experiments where scientists have been able to create rainclouds in a lab setting. Or is manually controlling the weather just a Sci-Fi pipedream?

Asked by Rob Ford over 10 years ago

Hi, Rob.  I think, one day, most certainly, yes.  Many would argue that we already have via global warming/climate change.  I haven't picked a side on that issue, but we will certainly contine to do things to try and affect the weather.  Experiments have been proposed to stop tornadoes in their path, and reduce the strength of hurricanes before landfall.  We will need to be careful, weather is part of a planetary system and fooling around with that system could have unintended consequences. Great question, thanks!
