Weather Basics
This pillar explains the essential weather concepts that users need before interpreting historical datasets. It prioritizes practical understanding: what each variable means, how it is measured, and where misinterpretations usually happen.
Core concepts
- Temperature ranges: why daily minimum and maximum values matter more than a single number.
- Precipitation: amount, duration, and event type are different signals.
- Wind: sustained speed and gusts represent different types of risk.
- Humidity and pressure: useful context for comfort and storm tendency.
- Uncertainty: station distance and data completeness influence confidence.
