Weather is defined as the state of the atmosphere at a given time and place, with respect to variables such as temperature, moisture, wind speed and direction, and barometric pressure.

There are many possible answers depending on the weather. Answers such as “It's a sunny day” or “it's warm here today” or “Its cold outside” or “it's cold today” , “the weather is wet”, “it's raining” “”snowing” etc, or even “I haven't been outside so I don't know,” are all perfectly good answers.

Atmospheric Controllers Of Local Nighttime Temperature. The ground routinely starts to cool after the sun sets because it emits more radiation than it gains from the atmosphere. In other words, the temperature of the ground starts to lower because it runs a radiation deficit (more losses than gains).

Atmospheric temperature is the physical quantity expressing how hot or cold the air is. That's why it is also called air temperature. It is one of the main characteristics of the state of the atmosphere together with wind, humidity, atmospheric pressure, clouds, and others.

Air is constantly moving around the earth. This moving air is called wind. Winds are created when there are differences in air pressure from one area to another. In areas of high-pressure (sinking air), air at ground level spreads out, moving away from the high pressure.

Often there is turbulence at a front, which is the borderline where two different air masses come together. The turbulence can cause clouds and storms. Instead of causing clouds and storms, some fronts just cause a change in temperature. However, some storm fronts start Earth's largest storms.
