問題詳情:
To find out what the weather is going to be, most people go straight to the radio, television, or newspaper to get an expert weather forecast. But if you know what to look for, you can use your own senses to make weather predictions.
There are many signs that can help you. For example, in fine weather the air pressure is generally high, the air is still and often full of dust, and faraway objects may look unclear. But when a storm is stirring up, the pressure drops and you are often able to see things more clearly. Sailors took note of this long ago and came up with a saying: “The farther the sight, the nearer the rain.”
Your sense of smell can also help you discover weather changes. Just before it rains, odors(氣味) become stronger. This is because odors are repressed (抑制) in a fair, high-pressure center. When a bad weather is coming, air pressure lessens and odors are set free.
You can also hear an coming storm. Sounds bounce(*回) off heavy storm clouds and return to earth with increased force. An old saying describes it this way: “Sound traveling far and wide, a stormy day will betide.”
And don’t feel funny if your grandmother says she can feel a storm coming. It is commonly known that many people feel pains in their bones when the humidity(溼度) rises, the pressure drops, and bad weather is on the way.
