Where To Find Answers to Your Toughest Problems & How Weather Works

Well, in the case of both rain and snow, the very first thing I'm trying to do is work out which of the two cloud families are we looking at here because that will then reveal what's most likely to happen over the next 12 hours. And whether it's snow or rain, the same branch is there. It's either showers or it's blanket. If it's showers, it's coming from those heaped clouds, the cumulus ones.

And what that means is the word showers is misunderstood these days a little bit. In weather terms, you know, weather aficionados will know this, but if you're new to kind of looking for weather signs, the word showers to some people means light rain, but actually it's much more precise than that.

So if you have a rain shower, it can actually be very, very heavy. Same with snow. A snow shower can be really heavy, but it won't go on for an hour. So the way I put it when I was writing about it is that, you know, showers don't last hours. If it's blanket and it starts raining, there's a really good chance it'll be raining in three or four hours time. Same with snow.

But if we've seen cumulus clouds, a little bit of blue sky here and there. And again, a lot of this stuff is common sense when we're seeing it in hindsight, but it's very easy to not actually pause and even go, well, which of those two is it? If it showers, you can plan actually to have a quite fun day dodging them if you want to.

And what's happening all around us and on every scale,
