What’s a hectopascal?

All this talk of global warming and extreme weather conditions led me to the Weather Category this week, where there are some really interesting questions to look through.

Our daily lives are ruled by the temperature and the conditions outside, yet many of us couldn’t explain what it is that is actually going on up there. One user was at a loss to tell her child how rainbows are formed – so where else to turn but Yahoo!7 Answers? Storms are a very popular topic, with users in the know explaining the difference between a cyclone, hurricane and tornado and answering questions about what gives clouds their dark appearance just before the rain hits. I was interested to see the answer to the question which comes first, thunder or lightning? I’d never really thought about what the answer might be before!

If you have a question relating to a weather phenomenon no doubt there’s someone out there who knows the answer, or if you want a local forecast you can always check out Yahoo!7 Weather.
