Winds circulating against the rotation of the Earth, they have a high-pressure center
Anticyclone
Winds circulating against the rotation of the Earth, they have a high-pressure center. Anticyclone. An anticyclone is a weather system where winds spiral outward from a high-pressure area, often bringing clear skies.

The climate at the center of a continent, with hot summers and cold winters
Continental climate
The climate at the center of a continent, with hot summers and cold winters. Continental climate. Continental climate involves large temperature variations between seasons because land heats and cools quickly.

A worldwide climate change, caused by a decrease in the Pacific Ocean’s temperature
La Nina
A worldwide climate change, caused by a decrease in the Pacific Oceans temperature. La Nina. La Nina is a natural climate pattern that results in cooler than average sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern Pacific Ocean, affecting global weather.

An electric discharge caused when charges jump within a cloud, between two clouds, or between a cloud and the ground
Lightning
An electric discharge caused when charges jump within a cloud, between two clouds, or between a cloud and the ground. Lightning is a sudden flash of light in the sky caused by electricity moving in the atmosphere.

The climate within a small area that differs from the surrounding climate
Microclimate
The climate within a small area that differs from the surrounding climate. Microclimate is a localized climate that can vary significantly from the larger area around it due to specific conditions like terrain, vegetation, or water bodies.

A measure of the amount of water vapor in the air, compared to the maximum possible at that temperature
Relative humidity
A measure of the amount of water vapor in the air, compared to the maximum possible at that temperature. Relative humidity. It tells us how full the air is with water vapor compared to how much it could hold at that temperature.

A period of unique climate caused by the tilt of the Earth as it revolves around the Sun
Season
A period of unique climate caused by the tilt of the Earth as it revolves around the Sun. Season. Seasons are the four divisions of the year marked by changes in weather and daylight, resulting from the Earth's tilt and orbit around the Sun.
