Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Additional factors like activity, pregnancy, wind, and clothing affect individual temperature impact. Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature', 'feels like', 'apparent temperature', or 'real feel', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Sustained activity may result in heatstroke. Take extra precautions, as heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Heat indexIn May, the average heat index is estimated at a tropical 91.4☏ (33☌).

The ultimate goal is to have a society that is prepared for and responds to weather, water and climate events. These services include Forecasts and Observations, Warnings, Impact-based Decision Support Services, and Education in an effort to build a Weather-Ready Nation. The National Weather Service (NWS) provides weather, water, and climate forecasts and warnings for the United States, its territories, adjacent waters and ocean areas, for the protection of life and property and the enhancement of the national economy. The National Weather Service (NWS) is a part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). What does the National Weather Service do?

The climate report for the Atlanta area for the previous month shows how much departure from the average temperatures that month represents. Climate, however, is the average of weather over time and space. In most places, weather can change from minute-to-minute, hour-to-hour, day-to-day, and season-to-season. So when we are talking about climate change, we are talking about changes in long-term averages of daily weather. If you’ve ever heard your local weather person say “today we hit a record high for this day,” she is talking about climate records. The climate record also includes extreme values such as record high temperatures or record amounts of rainfall. For example, you can expect snow in the Northeast in January or for it to be hot and humid in the Southeast in July. That’s the weather.Ĭlimate is the average of that weather. So, for example, it may be 75° degrees and sunny or it could be 20° degrees with heavy snow.

Weather is what you see outside on any particular day.
