Post Long Overdue

Didn't realise it's been such a long time since the blog was updated with any new post. My sincere apologies to all, especially to those who have been following. Nonetheless, here I am to update you on new stuff! Just in case you haven't realised, the Straits Times dedicated the entire Saturday Report on alternative energy sources. Would have been good fodder for you assignment if they did it a week earlier.

Blog
I'm pleasantly surprised at the quality of some posts from the various classes. It's amazing how some of you, with just a little reflection, were able to learn other things that weren't mentioned in the lesson. Two good posts on climographs were those by JH401 and JH403, do pop in to have a look whenever you are free. Kudos to both who noticed the 'U' and 'N' shaped profiles for temperatures in the Northern and Southern hemispheres. We'll find out more in the coming lessons.

Life?
What some of you might notice is that we are in a way, bleeding into hydrosphere with all this talk about precipitation. What has climate got to do with life? Don't forget, one of the things life depends on is warmth and water. And climate essentially is how warm and wet a place is. Of course, there's the nice definition which describes it as the atmospheric conditions of a particular area over a long period of time. That's just a definition, more importantly, do you know the idea behind it?

Lenticular Clouds
Clouds aren't really the focus of our learning but it is something I'm sure you people will love it. There's this unique phenomenon known as lenticular clouds. It's a phenomenon closely associated with mountains. Isn't earth amazing?
