Weather Instruments for Students

Meteorologists study the weather using instruments such as thermometers, barometers, hygrometers, and anemometers. Thermometers measure air temperature through the expansion of liquid in a glass tube. Barometers measure air pressure and can indicate whether pressure is rising or falling. Hygrometers measure the humidity or water vapor content in the air, while anemometers measure wind speed.

Weather Instruments

How do we study the weather?


Meteorologists study the weather by recording and looking at their data
They collect data by using different weather instruments
– Thermometer, barometer, hygrometer, and many more

Thermometer
• A thermometer measures the air temperature. Thermometer is closed glass tubes containing alcohol or
mercury. When air around the tube heats the liquid, the liquid expands and moves up the tube. A scale
then shows what the actual temperature is.

Barometer

• A barometer measures the air pressure. It tells whether or not the pressure is rising or falling. A rising
barometer means sunny and dry conditions, while a falling barometer means stormy and wet conditions.

Hygrometer

• A hygrometer measures the water vapor content in the air or the humidity.

Anemometer

• An anemometer is used to measures the speed of the wind.
