On this episode, Roger talks about hurricane seasons within the United States, and what causes them. Chart of frequency of Hurricanes based on date

On this episode, Roger talks about the Sapphire Simpson Scale, a way to categorize a storm based on its maximum sustained wind speeds. Anything ranked a category 3 or higher is considered a major hurricane.

Radio Vermont Forecaster Roger Hill looks at how temperature averages have changed since the end of the last ice age when compared to data from 1961-1990 and how the earth's temperature affected early and modern humans. Then he looks forward, past 1990 to today and beyond. What does our temperature trend mean for the planet and humans in the next 1-3 decades?

Wind is the movement of air that develops due to temperature differences in different parts of the world. The differences in temperature result in differences in density which results in differences in pressure. Wind results when these pressure differences try to normalize in an endless cycle of movement. Roger Hill explains the pressure gradient and what causes changes in wind speed and direction.

Roger details how varying air and ground temperatures at different levels of the atmosphere can produce interesting forms of precipitation such as sleet, hail, or freezing rain, or a combination of precipitation types. Ever hear a forecast call for a mixed bag precipitation? This is what they're talking about.

Roger talks about Equinox and Solstice, astronomic events that humans have observed for a very long time. Why don't we see exactly 12 hours between sunrise and sunset during equinox? Roger talks about how latitude comes into the equation.

This week Roger goes over the different types of clouds, where they usually sit in the atmosphere, and how forecasters can tell what's going on in the atmosphere by looking at them.
