What do prevailing winds bring?
300
It is the temperature to which the air must be cooled at constant pressure in order for it become saturated
What is the dew point?
300
It is an air mass that gives cool, dry weather in the winter, and warm and dry in the summer

400
It is an air mass that doesn't occur frequently and gives warm, dry conditions
What is Tropic Continental?
400
Areas of low pressure which bring rain, cloud and wind
What are depressions?
400
Cool summers, cold winters with snow, dry and sunny all year
What is the weather like in the North East of Britain?
500
Because it retains it's heat for much longer, and cools down more slowly than land in the winter
