This week is Geography Awareness Week! The powers that be have declared this year's theme to be Geography: The Adventure in Your Community.
In this spirit, I will be blogging about various geographical exercises
one can do by themselves, with family, with friends, or with the
community!
Meterology can be viewed as a subset of geography. Yet the most common meteorological phenomenon, clouds, are sadly not understood by many geographers and want-to-be geographers (besides low, dark clouds equals rain).
Fortunately NASA and NOAA have a nice two page chart (PDF) on the various types clouds. Once you get the types of clouds down Quiet Journey has a quick guide on how to predict the weather by reading the clouds. Try reading the clouds for a few days and see how good you can be with weather predictions.
