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 about 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!

If average barometric pressure at 10,000 feet is about 20.6 inches, why Is reported pressure today in Breckenridge CO 30.4 inches?

Asked by Bill over 8 years ago

I would question that average as an error or typo. Standard pressure is 29.92.

I have a serious question and this is the only site I found that I could ask somebody, anyways, did yall find anything in the sky or by the moon about 3:30am central April 13 2 days before blood moon? I have a picture of it, I need someone to look

Asked by Michael about 10 years ago

Not aware of anything off the top of my head, Michael. Can you post the picture somewhere with a link, maybe Twitter or Flickr and I'd be happy to take a look. Provide as much information as you can, like where you were, what direction you were looking, time of day, etc. You might have some luck checking with a local science museum or astronomy club, or the nearest National Weather Service office. www.weather.gov

I recently saw two videos of tornadoes standing still for multiple minutes before moving and stopping again. I want to know how this happens? What makes a tornado stop in its tracks?

Asked by Emily Mildred Morris over 8 years ago

Great question, Emily. Tornadoes are a part of the parent thunderstorm that moves and develops with the environmental winds and available moisture. The ones you saw were likely in an area of weak steering currents. Thanks
