WHAT IS WEATHER?
... Weather can be described as the state of the atmosphere at a certain point in time and place. The atmosphere is the blanket of air around the planet, and it influences the weather that we notice. Weather can be hot or cold, wet or dry, calm or stormy, and clear or cloudy. There are certain things th ...

Atmospheric convection
Atmospheric convection is the result of a parcel-environment instability, or temperature difference, layer in the atmosphere. Different lapse rates within dry and moist air lead to instability. Mixing of air during the day which expands the height of the planetary boundary layer leads to increased winds, cumulus cloud development, and decreased surface dew points. Moist convection leads to thunderstorm development, which is often responsible for severe weather throughout the world. Special threats from thunderstorms include hail, downbursts, and tornadoes.
