With the weather changing these days to much cooler and drier, some people are already starting to miss the hot summer temperatures. It is natural to think about the climate when the seasons are changing, so this week's challenge is about finding some answers and interesting information about all kinds of weather.
Find the answers to the following questions using books, encyclopedias, an internet search engine, or by asking your mom or dad. Write the answers and your name on a piece of paper, and give it to Mr. Smith no later than Thursday at 3:07pm. All students with correct answers will be recognized here on Friday as a Meteorological Historian of Extremes Master of the Week. Good luck!
