Blogpost 5: They're Different

Each storm is different. From their characteristics up to the area they effect, each of them are created uniquely. I am not going to complicate things or give you a nosebleed on this, so I will just be discussing about different types of storms that are familiar to most of us. Living in a country where we receive more than 20 storms each year, we are very much knowledgeable when it comes to flood and monsoons. But have you tried thinking what other people are experiencing?

In the Middle East, the weather is typically hot and dry that you can't even stand to be outside for a very long time. In some parts, especially along the mountains of Saudi Arabia, the temperature can drop and the cold weather can be very severe. In Europe, winter and tornadoes are the common weather there. While in Asia, most of the time it is a wet and dry season.

In an article entitled "The Temperature In Different Places Varies On The Basis Of Weather Conditions" by Linden Walhard, he explained why weather conditions in some areas differ. He said and I quote, "Since the weather systems move across the globe, predicting the weather of one place depends on the knowledge of present conditions in the adjoining areas."  He further explained that countries are closely working together to share information about weather.


But how can a specific weather condition in a particular place affect a person's mood or lifestyle? In an article entitled "Weather's Influence On People" by Monique Barb, she gave different examples on how weather conditions affect a person's mood. She said and I quote, "Mood can also be affected by weather, making good or bad moods' hence the common scene of heavy downpour in soap operas when a person cries."  Our lifestyle is also actually connected with how the weather is in our area. For instance, people like us, who lives in Asia are more used to wear clothing that aren't thick. Unlike in Europe where people there are more likely to wear sweaters and jackets.

Weather conditions can be unpredictable. It may be sunny in the morning and the next thing you know, heavy rains are starting to pour in. It may be just an ordinary winter snow, later on, snowstorm is already being broadcasted. We prepare differently, but no one is exempted to feel nature's wrath. Yes, storms differ from each other, and that doesn't mean that one is less harmful than the other.
