The information presented is the time of day, the outside temperature, barometric pressure, wind speed, maximum wind speed during the previous 30 minutes, wind direction, and the amount of rain measured during the previous 30 minutes.

Your assignment is to print and examine the data beginning at 12:00 am and determine the following :

  • barometeric pressure tendencies
  • general wind patterns
  • any frontal activity, if so, what type and time frame for passage
  • type of sky cover
  • time of year (spring, summer, fall, or winter?)
  • type of weather you would expect during the next 24 hr period
