Do you know what causes wind? Well, broadly speaking it’s the sun... but more specifically, how the sun unevenly heats the Earth’s surface. That leads to areas of high and low pressure forming, and in ...

The same wave in the jet stream can lead to strong winds, blowing dust and fire danger in one region, while triggering a tornado outbreak and a blizzard in other regions. Windstorms can seem like they ...

Inquisitive Surfline user “Barry” writes: “Ok so I’ve been looking at the details and I’ve already got stumped. As I understand it, wind starts from air moving from high pressure areas to low pressure ...

Using isobars on weather maps is completely accurate. Wind derives its initial speed and direction from changes in air pressure over distance, or pressure gradient force (PGF). This is why when ...
