Why does a river overflow when it should be emptying into the sea?

Asked by Glen about 7 years ago

You might get a better answer from a hydrologist, Glen. Water does continue to empty into the ocean, or a lake. The overflow occurs when the water running into the river is greater than what is flowing out. The incoming water can come from creeks and streams and heavy rain. Thanks!

Do people ever get upset when your interrupt a broadcast for a severe weather or something like a police chase. Infomercials now you can play that weather all night man, lol.

Asked by Dannny about 7 years ago

All the time, Danny. Most folks seem to appreciate that we are trying to keep them informed and in many cases safe. But some people do get pretty grumpy when we interrupt their TV shows. Thanks.

What are the 6 elements of the atmosphere?

Asked by Darinesha White about 7 years ago

Hi, Darinesha. Not sure exactly what you are asking. If you mean the gases that make up the atmosphere you might do a web search. The two highest concentrations are nitrogen and oxygen and a list of other things including water vapor. Thanks!

Why is it that the hours of 2 or 3 p.m. the hottest times of our day

Asked by t417 over 6 years ago

For the most part the sun doesn't directly heat the air. It heats the ground which then reradiates that energy in the form of longer wave radiation which heats the air. The strongest heating occurs midday when the sun is highest in the sky. At that point the sunlight is traveling through the least amount of atmosphere as opposed to earlier or later in the day. So there is a short lag between maximum sun angle and the time is takes the air to heat up. Thanks, Tommy. Hope that makes sense.

When will we see more settled, drier weather in the West of Scotland in particular?

Asked by Craig Gillon almost 7 years ago

Hi, Craig. Europe weather and climate is pretty far out of my area of expertise. You might have better luck with the UK Met Office. Good luck. https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/
