 USING WEATHER
INSTRUMENTS AND
DESCRIBING WEATHER
COMPONENTS
 The following are the
primary conditions/weather
components of the
atmosphere and the
weather instruments used
to measure them:
1. Wind is the movement of air
parallel to Earth's surface.
 A wind vane is a device that
tells the direction of the wind.
Wind direction is the direction
from which the wind is blowing
(four
directions: E- East, W-West,
WIND VANE
o North wind - if the arrowhead
of the wind vane faces the north
direction

o East wind - if the arrowhead

of the wind vane faces the east
direction
 o If the arrowhead points
between North and East, we say,
the
wind is blowing northeast.
  An anemometer measures
wind speed. The cups catch the
wind, turning a dial attached to
the instrument. The dial shows
the wind speed. The speed of the
wind may be fast or slow.
Sometimes
it blows gently but at other times
ANEMOMETER
 A windsock tells both the wind
direction and wind speed.
WINDSOCK
2. Humidity is the amount of
moisture in the air which is
measured by a hygrometer.
  Hygrometer uses a pair of
thermometers where one bulb
is open to the air and the other
has a bulb covered in a wet
cloth. This cause evaporation on
the wet bulb and loss of heat
thus
a drop in temperature reading.
 The relative humidity can then
be derived from the
temperature difference between
the two
thermometers.
HYGROMETER
 3. Temperature is the degree
of hotness or coldness on a
definite scale of air around us.
Places near the equator have
high temperature because they
receive direct rays of the sun. The
time of the day and time of the
year also affect the air
temperature.
  A thermometer is used to
measure air temperature. A room
thermometer may bear the
Fahrenheit, the Celsius scale, or
both. Air temperature is typically
read in degrees Celsius or °C
while the Fahrenheit scale is
mainly used in the United States.
  Liquid–in–glass (traditional
thermometer) - A thermometer
has a glass tube sealed at both
ends and is partly filled with a
liquid like
mercury or alcohol. As the
environment becomes hotter, the
liquid inside the thermometer
expands causing a rise of the
 Traditional
liquid-in-glass
(mercury) min-
max
thermometer
 An infrared thermometer
(non-contact thermometer) is a
thermometer which measures
temperature from a specific
surface portion of the object at a
safe distance. The thermometer
will compare the heat emitted by
the object with its surroundings.
 Infrared
Thermometer
4. Pressure is the weight of force
that is produced when something
presses or pushes against
something else.
  A barometer is a scientific
instrument that is used to
measure air pressure in a certain
environment. The level of liquid
inside it will indicate subtle
pressure changes caused by
weather elements.
BAROMETER
5. Precipitation is the water that
falls into the ground as rain, snow
etc.

 Rain Gauge. It measures the

amount of rain that has fallen
over a very specific time period.
RAIN GAUGE
 6. Cloud formation is a
visible mass of particles of
condensed vapor suspended
in the atmosphere of a planet.
Observing the weather condition
will help us decide the kind of
activities we will do for the day.
Planning ahead can be aided by
weather predictions.
  Weather charts present
about weather components that
determine the weather condition
at any given time. Below is an
example of a weather chart.
 Weather report is important
because we can give accurate
data on different weather
elements. Below is an example
of weather report.

BAROMETER
A C SIR

1. Be aware of the purpose
of a barometer. A barometer
measures changes in air
pressure to help forecast
the weather, using millibars
(mb) or inches of mercury.
A C SIR
TIVITY 2
IMS
Air pressure is a very
important component of
forecasting the weather, but
air is microscopic and
difficult to read with the
naked eye.
A C SIR
TIVITY 2
IMS Air pressure occurs
when the weight of tiny
particles of air, known as air
molecules, pushes down on
an area. When air is
compressed,
it is placed under high
pressure and indicates a

When the mercury or
needle in a barometer rises,
it means the weather is
sunny and dry. When the
mercury or needle in a
barometer falls, this means
the weather will be stormy
and wet.

2. Gather your supplies. To

make a barometer at home,
you will need the following
supplies:
A C SIR

* A small, empty coffee can
* Plastic wrap
* A pair of scissors
* Tape
* A straw
* An index card
* A rubber band

3. Cover the top of the coffee
can with plastic wrap. Then,
secure the plastic wrap with
a rubber band around the top
so it forms an airtight seal
over the coffee can.

4. Place the straw horizontally
on the top of the can. One end
of the straw should be in the
center of the can while the
other end extends out
over 1 side.

5. Write high pressure and low
pressure on the index card.
Divide the card in 2 and write
“high pressure” on the top
portion of the card. Then,
write “low pressure” on the
bottom portion of the card.
A C SIR

6. Prop the index card next to
the can. The card should sit
next to the can with the center
line dividing “high pressure”
from “low pressure” even with
the straw.
A C SIR
TIVITY 2
IMS
Once you bring the barometer
outside, the straw will indicate
whether the pressure is high or
low as it rises and falls. You
may want to tape the card to a
rock or something else
to keep it stable.

7. Record when the straw rises
and falls. Note where the straw
sits on the index card, in “high
pressure” or “low pressure”
when you first attach it
to the can. Place the can
outside and note
when it rises or falls.
A C SIR
TIVITY 2
IMS
High pressure will cause the
plastic wrap to dip, leading to
a rise in the straw. Low
pressure will cause the plastic
wrap to puff up, leading to a
drop in the straw.

WIND VANE

1. Recognize the purpose
of a wind vane. This
instrument will help you
determine the direction from
which the wind is blowing.
A C SIR
TIVITY 3
IMS
The direction of the wind is
an
important element in
predicting the weather, as
the wind brings the weather
to a certain area.
A C SIR
TIVITY 3
IMSThe wind vane works by
spinning and pointing in the
direction from which the wind
is blowing. This instrument has
2 parts or ends, 1 that is
shaped like an arrow and turns
into the wind and 1 wide end
that catches the breeze.
A C SIR
TIVITY 3
IMS The arrowed end will
indicate which direction the
wind is blowing, for example,
North, South, East, or West.
You must be aware of where
North, South, East, and West
are relative to your location to
use a wind vane properly.

To make a wind vane at home,
you will need the following
supplies:
A C SIR

3. Make the arrow. Use the
manila folder to cut out an arrow
point that is 5 cm (2.0 in) long
and 5 centimeters (2.0 in) wide
at the base. Then, cut out a tail
for the arrow that is 7 cm (2.8 in)
long and 7 cm (2.8 in) wide.
A C SIR
TIVITY 3
IMS
Take the straw and make 1 cm
(0.39 in) cuts on each end of the
straw. Form the arrow by sliding
the arrow point on 1 end of the
straw and the arrow tail on the
other end of the straw.

1. Recognize the purpose
of a rain gauge. This
instrument will help you
determine the amount of
rainfall within a specific
period.
A C SIR

The amount of rainfall is
important in meteorology
because it lets weather
scientists know how much
rainfall there was for a specific
day or period of time and
provides information on changes
in rainfall from year

You can do this by attaching it to
the outside of the jar with a

Another option is to tape
the ruler inside the jar so
it stands vertically, with the end

4. Put the funnel in the jar.
The funnel should sit in the top of
the jar so the funnel covers the
entire
mouth of the jar. This will ensure
water goes through the funnel
and does not spill on either
side of the jar.
