Study of weather and weather patterns and climate is important not Brighter, breezier and colder conditions will eventually follow, with more settled conditions re-establishing for the remainder of the week, with frosts and fog.Course Motivation Why is Meteorology Important? Unsettled midweek, with rain moving gradually south. Otherwise, gradually brightening to a fine day with some sunny spells. Tuesday:Īreas of mist and fog are likely to prove slow to clear, perhaps persisting all day in some spots. More lasting clear spells will also lead to a sharp frost in places. Tonight:Īreas of mist and fog will form readily through the evening, with some dense patches developing overnight. This will leave a fine day with sunny spells and light winds, although this will allow mist to return late in the day. It will be a chilly start, with areas of fog clearing by late morning.
