Dewpoint
Dry Bulb Temperature: 12°C
Wet Bulb Temperature: 12°C
This is the dewpoint.
What is 12°C?
Dry Bulb Temperature: 18°C
Wet Bulb Temperature: 18°C
This is the relative humidity.
What is 100%?
The relative humidity is 99%. Is there likely to be precipitation?
What is Yes?
Warm air can hold a much greater amount of water compared to cold air. This is what we call that temperature-dependent amount.
(Hint: The answer is not humidity or relative humidity.)
What is "capacity?"
Warm, stormy weather is typically associated with this kind of pressure system.
What is a low pressure system?
(Allow credit if an example of a low is given, like hurricane, tornado, etc.)
Dry Bulb Temperature: 22°C

Wet Bulb Temperature: 19°C
This is the relative humidity.
What is 91%?
At 100% relative humidity, you can expect some of these to form, or already be, above your heads.
What are clouds?
It takes more energy to raise the temperature of a water sample, compared to the energy it takes to raise the temperature of a land sample. This is due to water having a higher _____________.
What is specific heat?
These are two examples of cyclones, when it comes to weather.
What are 2 of the following?
-Hurricane(s)
-Tornado(es)
-Tropical storm(s)
-Tropical depression(s)
-Monsoon(s)
-Nor'easter(s)
[Award partial credit if only one out of two is correct, or if they list more than 2 and at least one of them is wrong.]
