When a cold front moves into an area, it can bring rain, thunderstorms, and a drop in temperature. On the other hand, a warm front brings warmer air and can lead to increased temperatures.
The wind direction and speed are also crucial in determining the weather. Wind can bring in different air masses, and its speed can affect the intensity of the weather. For example, a strong wind can lead to more severe thunderstorms.

If there’s a chance of rain or thunderstorms, carry an umbrella or raincoat. During warm weather, stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water and wear light, breathable clothing.
It’s also crucial to be aware of any weather warnings or alerts in your area. Sign up for emergency alerts from your local weather service to stay informed about any severe weather conditions.
