Weather Intro - 121.Mike

mikesinvention... / 121mike
Weather Intro explains why we have weather, where it exists within the atmosphere. I also mention the roots of the words, standard temperatures and pressures, weather fronts, why pressures are high or low, and a few other things you need to know. There will more detail on each one, but if you need a quick primer on weather, then watch this video now. This will be the first video in the weather playlist, which will be quite long.
Special Shoutout to Mike Christie for pointing out an error in the first release of this video!
121.Mike is all about flying. You'll learn what you need to pass your FAA knowledge tests and how to apply this knowledge.

Thanks for the video Mike. Looking forward to getting into all the charts!

Oh hey, my son is also named Alex. I remember that the Troposphere is the lowest layer of the atmosphere with all the weather because the sun is strongest in the tropics and weather comes from the sun.
Anyways, sometimes it feels to me like learning to become a pilot is like getting a degree in meteorology with a minor in aviation.

[@121Mike]

Nice naming! Good way to remember the lowest layer too. Pilots could totally fill in for the evening weather people.

Also minor error: you said weather systems spin anti-clockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in Europe, but presumably you meant the southern hemisphere.

So that was an attempted joke that apparently didn’t work out.
