Community Central youth have begun looking at climate and weather.<\/strong>
\n Can you make it rain, inside? Yes! Sort of.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Graph<\/a>
Using M&Ms youth at the Boys & Girls Club demonstrated how each year there were different amounts of weather types that contributed to the overall climate of Maine.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Using a few easily found\/recycled materials youth found that when several forces work together a storm occurs: humidity, temperature, wind, and high\/low-pressure systems.\u00a0Several of these activities use supplies that you might have at home! Information about this and other climate activities can be found on the Cornell Cooperative Extension website.<\/p>\n

How does climate differ from weather? Climate describes long-term trends, weather describes short-term trends.\u00a0 Both Maine and Florida have days with colder or hotter weather,\u00a0but Maine gets quite a bit colder during winter. Both areas have rainy days, but it is much more likely that a hurricane will occur near Florida than in Maine.<\/p>\n
