Answer 9

• HIgh sir pressure will be covering the country and cold air will be sinking making it cold as it is mid December and there is a lack of clouds allowing heat to escape bringing very low teperatures.
• Skies will clear as there are no fronts to cause cloud formation in an anticyclone
  High pressure in winter brings cold overnight temperatures wich results in frost and icy roads
• A cold front will move over Eastern Scotlan making snow more likely to fall
• Isobars become closer togerther so wind speed increases this would make bridges more dangerous for lorries.
• Stronger winds and heavy rainfall partially cause bliszzards reducing visiblity causing dangerous driving conditions.

Question 10

Depression

Answer 10

Due to the approah of the warm front, Stirling’s air pressure will fall and cloud cover will increase because air rises steadily over the cold air this cools an condenses to form long nimbostratus clouds that provide staedy rain. Winds come from the south east and are strong as the isobars are closer together. Then Stirlng will be in the warm sector of the depression clouds life this means that temperature will sart to rse and it may be showery or the rain may stop altogether. Due to the cold front approaching cloud cover will increase with culminonimbus clouds brining heav rainfall to Stirling. Temperatures will drop as the front passes over Stiling. As the front begins to move away the sky will clear, air pressure will drop and the air pressure will rise.
