Many of our readers would like to be able to predict how
many clouds will be in the sky on a particular day. Our readers prefer
to go to the beach on sunny, not cloudy days. Likewise, many of our
readers say that if they know that a cloudy day is coming, they may choose
indoor activities to do on such a day. Many readers also like to co-ordinate
their clothing to the type of weather on a given day. One doesn't need
to wear a silk sun hat on a cloudy day after all...does one?
Consult your resources and try
to find a relationship between the air pressure
and the cloud cover on a given day. Collect air pressure data, and
cloud data each day for a number of days. Is it cloudier when
the pressure
is higher or lower, than average? If a relationship can be found,
then
our readers will be able to predict how cloudy each day will be based
upon
the air pressure readings that they obtain from their barometers.
Wouldn't
that be lovely?
