I live in Tanzania in East Africa. I was driving through Sumbawanga in the west of the country and I think I saw a double tornado. We have dust devils, but I've never heard of tornados. Please let me know if I can send you the photos to confirm?

Asked by Hally over 10 years ago

Hi, Hally. Multiple tornadoes can occur within one thunderstorm complex. I would do a Google search for some pictures.

Hi! I have a screenshot of the weather and my question is why does the dewpoint follow the air temperature, both up and down? (email me at ilupariello@ccsuvt.org for the picture) This will get me extra credit so your help is greatly appreciated!

Asked by Izzy over 9 years ago

Hi Izzy-Happy to look at the picture of you post it someplace. The dewpoint doesn't really follow the temperature. It is a measure of the amount of moisture (water vapor) in the air. The colder the air gets the drier it so the dewpoint goes down. Warmer air can hold more water vapor so the dewpoint can rise. Great question, thanks.

If average barometric pressure at 10,000 feet is about 20.6 inches, why Is reported pressure today in Breckenridge CO 30.4 inches?

Asked by Bill over 8 years ago

I would question that average as an error or typo. Standard pressure is 29.92.

I go for bike rides alot. I noticed though that December/January is always cloudy/rainy, like 5 of 7 days, it get's really old, there's no sun! Why is this?

Asked by exposcandal over 8 years ago

The weather is dictated by large shifting atmospheric waves that move around the planet. Your area is in a spot that favors storm development right now. Bundle up!

I recently saw two videos of tornadoes standing still for multiple minutes before moving and stopping again. I want to know how this happens? What makes a tornado stop in its tracks?

Asked by Emily Mildred Morris over 8 years ago

Great question, Emily. Tornadoes are a part of the parent thunderstorm that moves and develops with the environmental winds and available moisture. The ones you saw were likely in an area of weak steering currents. Thanks

Planning a winter golf trip. Worried about El Nino rain. Thoughts on Orlando vs. El Paso, San Antonio and Tuscon? All are usually dry, but where would el Nino possibly have the biggest impact? thanks.

Asked by Frank over 9 years ago

Hi, Frank. The general idea during an El Nino winter is that much of the southern half of the country would be wetter than average, and that is the forecast for this winter. All of the cities you mention are in that zone. You might spend some time at the Climate Prediction Center website, http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/

Good luck, hit 'em straight!

I have a question that I have been dying to ask a Meteorologist for some months.

My question is, what city in the Midwest with a population of 100,000 or more has an EXACT replica of Florida summers?

Asked by Jeffrey over 9 years ago

Hmmm...is this trivia or research? If trivia, don't know, which city?
