Specialty

Weather and climate from A to Z

🌟Weather and climate are of interest to the public when it comes to choosing what to wear in the morning or preparing for outdoor activities, as well as for gaining a better understanding of the implications of climate change. Many different specialist terms are used to explain weather and climate change. In this A-Z glossary, MeteoSwiss provides explanations of the most important weather terms, displayed in alphabetical order.

🌟Because of the depth and extent of meteorology and climatology, a comprehensive terminology glossary is not possible, and so the focus here is on those areas in which the specialists have accumulated a significant amount of knowledge over the years and can therefore place the terms into a wider context. The A-Z will be updated and expanded on a regular basis as necessary.
