This site provides an explanation for cloud formation and seeks to correct myths or misconceptions about how clouds form. Water vapor, condensation, and evaporation are discussed in the context of dew-point temperature and saturation. Educators and anyone explaining cloud formation will find hints on how to present the correct information and avoid misinforming their audiences.

In
this
lesson,
students
learn
about
the
limitations
of
weather
forecasting
and
how
consumer-driven
weather
forecasting
companies
attempt
to
meet
the
demand
for
accurate,
long-term
weather
forecasting.
The
students
then
act
as
meteorologists,
researching
the
weather
patterns
occurring
in
specific
regions
of
the
world
and
developing
their
own
weather
forecasts.
