Weather

Summer weather can create a bunch of excitement. Some places have extreme heat like Arizona and Texas, other places are pretty nice all year around like Florida and California. When you have hot air mix with cold air do you know what can occur?

Weather is a weird thing, one moment you are hot and sticky from humidity next you are chilly from a breeze that comes in.

During winter months weather seems to come from the North and East, where as during the summer months it seems to come from the South and the West.... is this true, or is it just our perception?

I challenge you to find out what happens when cold air mixes with hot air and whether weather comes from different directions during summer months vs. winter months? Can you tell me what you find out? Tell me where you got your source of information.
