About the weather

2008. 1. 8. 16:41
Warm/hot weather

When it's humid, the air is holding lots of moisture.
There are two other words that mean hot and moist.
The words are muggy and sweltering
- sweltering is even hotter than muggy
Stifling weather is so hot and uncomfortable that you can't breathe.
- it can be stifling in a room too.
Scorching weather feels like a burning heat but dry like in a desert.
Mild weather is weather that is surprisingly warm for the season
A heat wave is a period of unusually hot weather that lasts a week or two weeks.
A drought happens when there is no rain for a long period of time
- plants die, lakes dry up and the earty becomes very hard.

  muggy -> sweltering -> Stifling -> Scorching
Humid는 공기가 많은 습기를 가지고 있는 상태를 말합니다.
거기에는 두 단어가 있는데 muggy와  sweltering 가 있는데  sweltering가 더 더운것입니다.
Stifling는 너무 더워서 불편하고 숨을 쉬기 어려운 정도이며
방에서도 그런 느낌을 받을 수 있습니다.(사우나??)
Scorching는 사막에 있는것처럼 타는듯한 열기이지만 건조한것을 말합니다.
Mild는 이상하게 따뜻한 날씨를 말합니다.(보통 겨울 등??)
Heat wave는 일~이주정도 이상하리만큼 더운날씨가 지속되는것을 말합니다.(열대아?)
Drought는 가뭄. 오랫동안 비가오지않아 농작물이 죽고 호수가 마르는 것을 말합니다.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wet weather

this wet scale gets stronger from left to right
   to drizzle -> to pour/ a downpour  -> torrential rain

chilly and damp is cold
Damp weather is cold and the air is moist, but it's not raining
When it's drizzling, you don't really need an umbrella unless you're outside for a long time.
When it's pourting, you do need an umbrella
If there is torrential rain, the roads can become flooded.
Rain that only last for a short time is called a shower.
When you have a rainstorm with thuder and lightning. it's a thunderstorm.
A hailstorm causes lots of problems
 - farmers can lose all their crops if the hailstomes are very big
 - hailstorms can happen at any time of year
Foggy weather, especially in the mornings before the sun gets hot enough to burn off the fog.

chilly는 차가움을 느끼는 정도??
Damp는 차가우면서 습한. 비는 오지 않는 상태
Drizzing은 이슬비? 오랜시간 외출할 게 아니면 우산이 필요없는 상태?
pouring 비가 와서 우산이 필요한 상태?? 그냥 비가 오는것. (=down pour)
torrential rain은 비가 강하게 와서 홍수를 불러올 정도
shower는 소나기. 짧은시간동안 내린는 비
thunderstorm은 천둥번개를 동반한 강한 비가 내릴때
hailstorm은 우박과 함께
Foggy는 안개낀 상태(대부분 안개는 해가 뜨면 걷히죠^^)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wind

A gentle breeze is wind light enough to cool you.
 - it is a welcome relief on a hot day
On the other hand, if it is breezy, the wind is stronger and you may like to go sailing or fly a kite.
When there is a gale, boats are warned not to go out from shore because the wind is dangerous
some gusts may be up to 80 km/h.
When people hear that a huricane is coming
 - they board up their windows and go to a safe place
If there is a tornado warning, you should go down into your basement.

breeze는 더울때 불어오는 시원한 바람
breezy 바람을 이용해 연을 날리기 좋은날씨?
gale는 바람이 거칠어서 배들이 묶일 정도.
gusts는 바람소리가 휘익 하고 들릴정도로 원한다면 몇번부는지 셀 수 있을 강한바람.
huricane는 태풍으로 강한바람, 비 등으로 외출을 삼가고 창문을 닫고 안전한집에...
tornado는 바람이 원을 그리며 돌아서 휩쓸고 지나가는 자리에는 많은것이 파손되는...
