  its cloudless sunshine, with its gardens and
  meadows full of flowers. There as a lot of fruit

DIFFERENT KINDS OF WEATHER

• A thunderstorm
• A snowfall
• Fog
• A waterspout

7
A THUNDERSTORM

• A thunderstorm, also known as an electrical storm
  or a lightning storm, is a form of weather
  characterized by the presence of lightning and
  its effect thunder. It is usually accompanied by
  heavy rain and sometimes snow, hail, or no
  precipitation at all. Thunderstorms may line up
  in a series, and strong or severe thunderstorms
  may rotate.

8
A SNOWFALL

• Snow is a type of precipitation in the form of
  crystalline water ice, consisting of a multitude
  of snowflakes that fall from clouds. The process
  of this precipitation is called snowfall. Since
  snow is composed of small ice particles, it is a
  granular material. It has an open and therefore
  soft structure, unless packed by external
  pressure.

Types of snow

• Blizzard - a long-lasting snow storm with intense
  snowfall and usually high winds. Particularly
  severe storms can create whiteout conditions
  where visibility is severely reduced.
• Columns - a class of snowflakes that is shaped
  like a six sided column. One of the 4 classes of
  snowflakes.
• Flurry-a period of light snow with usually little
  accumulation with occasional moderate snowfall.
• Lake-effect snow produced when cold winds move
  across long expanses of warmer lake water,
  picking up water vapor which freezes and is
  deposited on the lake's shores.

10
FOG

• Fog is a cloud bank that is in contact with the
  ground. A cloud may be considered partly fog for
  example, the part of a cloud that is suspended in
  the air above the ground is not considered fog,
  whereas the part of the cloud that comes in
  contact with higher ground is considered fog. Fog
  is distinguished from mist only by its density,
  as expressed in the resulting decrease in
  visibility Fog reduces visibility to less than 1
  km, whereas mist reduces visibility to no less
  than 2 km.

11
A waterspout

• A waterspout is an intense columnar vortex
  (usually appearing as a funnel-shaped cloud) that
  occurs over a body of water and is connected to a
  cumuliform cloud. In the common form, it is a
  nonsupercell tornado over water, and brings the
  water upward. It is weaker than most of its land
  counterparts.
