Hey Scholars!
Weather is a funny thing..... always changing.
For this weeks post I want you to find a weather map from a different country post it and explain what the symbols mean and what kind of weather they are having. Then tell us what biome the country mostly fits into because of where it is located (latitude and longitude).

ReplyDeleteThe clouds show where the rain and cloud cover are. The L and H are for high and low pressure systems. They're having some rainy weather.
Estonia is located at 59° 00'N and 26° 00'E. The biome it is in is the temperate deciduous forest.

ReplyDeleteOkay so apparently other countries do not have the traditional frontal maps that we have in America. I found various sites but I could not find a site that had fronts such as cold, hot and stationary fronts. Basically my map shows an easy to read view of Italy's weather. There literally is pictures depicting the type of weather that is taking place. In Italy for example in Celcius the temperature is in the mid-twenties. Thus, the weather is mild as that translates to the mid-seventies. The weather is also pretty nice except for rain that has taken over the far east of the country. The rain taking over the east shows that a front has swept past that part of the country.
Italy fits into the Chaparral(Mediterranean) Biome because it seems to have pretty mild, warm weahter so far for the fall. It also is basically in the same area as the far west of California which is part of the Chaparral Biome
I choose Italy for this blog.

Symbols are self explanatory. It is pretty much sunny, with some exceptions of a little bit of cloudy weather
Italy is dominated by the Mediterrenean Vegetation with a little of temperate forest in the northern part of the country.

I chose Greece. The map has suns on the various cities, and some of the suns have clouds, which says that their weather is gonna be completely sunny or mostly sunny. There are arrows and a number telling about the wind and what direction it's gonna blow in. The temperature is also on there but it's in celcius instead of fahrenheit like ours.
ReplyDeleteThis country has a mediterranean/subtropical climate. It's winters are short, wet, and cold, and their summers are long, hot, and dry. Most of Greece is covered in mountains, which makes alot of it wet most of the time because of the windward sides of the mountains. The latitude/longitude itself is similar to the northeastern parts of the US.

Here's a weather map of Japan for Sep 30th. The symbols on the map show that it is going to be partly cloudy in most areas (the moon being partially covered by clouds) and will rain a bit in Tokyo (the rain cloud). Because of Japan's location which is approximately 20 degrees of latitude and approximately 23 degrees of longitude it has four major seasons like North America does.
This Weather map of Europe shows the temperture the symbols tell whether that part the is sunny or not and than by the color what the temperture is which was from 45-85F. and Europe is more of a Tiaga biome

The symbols on the weather map represent what kind of weather Australia is having at the moment. The cloud with the sun means its party clouded. The cloud with rain coming out of it and lightning means they are experiencing thunderstorms. The raincloud with the sun means there will be isolated showers but mostly sunny throughout the day.
Australia is experiencing rainy weather according to this map.
Australia actually has three different biomes; the savanna, the desert, and the tropical rainforests.

ReplyDeleteThis weather map of China that I selected since shows that most of Southeast China receives less than 10 inches of rainfall of year, while a few select areas up to 200 inches annually. The major biomes in Southeast Asia are desert, grasslands, and tropical forests.
http://weather.msn.com/region.aspx?wealocations=South+America
ReplyDeleteThis site shows several different weather maps of South America. The temperature map goes from blue, all the way to red. Blue is the lowest temperature, while red is the highest. Most of South America is a light to dark orange, with some light blue and white areas in the mountains and towards the south tip. The percipitation map goes from blue to white, with white being a high percipitation. It is mostly blue, showing light percipitaion. South America's major biomes are deserts, grasslands, tropical rainforests, temperate rainforests, savannas, and chaparalls.

This is a daily map of weather in Spain. It's reather simple with only a symbol of the weather. Howevever, below it, it lists the temp in degrees celcius.
Today it is cool and rainy in Spain,(at least in Madrid, very similar to our weather.
Acording to Madrid's Lat, Long, it should have a temperate forest biome.

I chose the Philippines. The map shows that for the most part it will be party cloudy or partly cloudy with showers. The numbers represent the average temperature. The biome the Philippines are in is tropical rainforest and the coordinates of the capital Manila are 14°35′N 120°58′E which is in the relative latitude (between tropic of cancer and tropic of capricorn)of other countries that are also tropical rainforest.

The weather on this map of Finland is showing lots of clouds and precipitation which makes sense because the country is very humid since it vastly borders the Baltic Sea. Clouds and rain are represented by icons and elevation is also represented in color variation. Finland's position in the 60th and 70th northern parallels gives it both humid maritime and drier continental climates that range from moderate to very cold. Finland is mostly coniferous forests and taiga.

The red and white lines around the country represent clouds, red means it has the second highest clouds on the scale, with burgendy at the top.
It has been in the 80's, light precipitation.

ReplyDeletethis is (was) a weather map for the United Kingdom for today.(technically tomorrow for here, because england is 6 hours ahead of eastern us time) the suns represent sunny weather, the suns with clouds represent overcast weather, and clouds represent cloudy weather, (littles rain drops represent rain)
The numbers around the cities represent the temperature in degrees celsius.
The uk fits into the the biome of tempertate forest because of its location.
(the united kingdoms latitude and longitude has not been decided upon because it consists of wales, scotland, england, and northern ireland. the latitude and longitude of london its capital is 51°30 N and 0°10 W)

ReplyDeleteBrazils weather is very diverse depending on the specific area. The map can be customized by using the drop down bars to the right side of the map and the colors for temp, wind, cloud and precipitation forcast are further described in the color key that pops up beneath the map. The map can be customized for both skiers and surfers if thats any indication of just how diverse Brazils weather is
Its biome is mainly tropical rainforest and savanna

This is a weather map of overall temperatures in Russia. The map uses colors to symbolize the average temperature in that area. The map shows that the farther west you get in longitude, the warmer it gets with the hottest temperature being at only 8 degrees celcius or 40 degrees farenheit. As you get farther north in latitude it generally becomes colder with the coldest parts being <-15 degrees celcius or 17 degrees farenheit.

Instead of them having clouds and whatnot like we have or traveling colors they literally have pictures over each area of what the weather is, like suns.

ReplyDeleteOn the eastern side of canada the moon symbol with a cloud means that the night is clear with a few clouds and the moon with no clouds means that it is a clear night for certain areas of canada. On the western side, the sun symbol means that its sunny, the sun with clouds means that its sunny with as few clouds, and the clouds symbol means its cloudy.
what biome canada is depends on where in canada you are. Its mainly Temperate Deciduous forests, Tundra-grasslands, and Boreals/evergreen coniferous forests.

This would most likely be a taigaor a tundra biome. This region is currently sunny however in the next couple of days they are going to get a mix of rain and sleet.
The different colors represent however much rain is currently happening or has happened. On this website there are multiple maps to where you can see high and low temperatures and many other things.

ReplyDeletethis is a weather map of brazil. the white areas and shades of gray represent the cloud coverage and the colors represent the temperature. the legend on top shows the range in temperature according to color.
Brazil is generally classified as the Amazon biome, a.k.a. the amazon rainforest biome. the rainforest has a rainy season from november to march so the clouds and coldness could be because that is just around the corner.

I chose Ireland :D
This map shows how light or heavy the rainfall is in different parts of the country. Blue - Light, Yellow - Moderate, Pink - Heavy, and Red - Very Heavy. From the image of the country, you can tell that Ireland is getting mostly light showers in the southeastern shoreline and the middle of the island. From where they are as in hemispheres and the landscape of the country, I would say their biome is most likely Temperate forest.
