Measuring Weather How does the weather change from day to day? How can we measure weather? By using different instruments and technology, we are able to accurately describe and predict weather. We can measure and predict temperature, the strength and direction of wind, or when it will rain. We are also able to predict extreme weather events like thunderstorms and hurricanes.
Temperature Temperature is a measure of how hot or cold the air around us is. It is measured in degrees Celsius (oC) or degrees Fahrenheit (oF). Temperature is measured using a thermometer. When the temperature is high, the weather can be described as warm or hot. When the temperature is low, the weather can be described as cool or cold.
