This year’s weather has been very unusual…65 degrees in the middle of winter!  While this is certainly not unheard of, it is well above normal for this time of year.  Why do we get such extreme temperature swings, and what does it mean for the climate?  It’s complicated!  While the climate is changing, there are other factors that determine weather patterns.  Some of these occur in cycles.  Also, there is a difference between weather and climate.  

When it comes to weather, it boils down to wind and circulation caused by differences in temperature.  To demonstrate this, we will observe what happens when hot water and cold water are slowly released into a tub of room temperature water.  We will also examine the different types of weather events that result from wind, and how weather differs from climate.
