Fun facts for younger primary students - Temperature - Met Éireann https://www.met.ie/cms/assets/uploads/2024/06/YP-Fun-Facts-Temperature.pdf A thermometer is used to measure temperature. When do we use a thermometer? When we have a fever we use a thermometer to tell our temperature. A high temperature means that we are not well. A thermometer like this is found in the medicine cabinet or first aid box. We use a thermometer to measure the temperature outside.

This means that the altitude of each station measuring pressure must be known precisely. The unit of pressure is the pascal (Pa), as this is a small unit of pressure, in meteorological practice the hectopascal (hPa) is used (1hPa=100Pa). Lines of equal ...
Temperature - Met Éireann - The Irish Meteorological Service https://www.met.ie/index.php/climate/what-we-measure/temperature Air temperature measured in direct sunshine, or in a porch, could be up to 10°C or 15°C higher in warm and sunny weather. This is why temperature measurements are made in a standard enclosure out of direct sunshine. Surface air temperature is not the only temperature measured by Met Éireann, others include upper air, earth and soil temperatures.

The Northern Lights - Met Éireann - The Irish Meteorological Service https://www.met.ie/education/the-northern-lights As we all know the Sun is very hot; the surface temperature is over 5000°C but interestingly the sun’s outer atmosphere, or corona, is millions of degrees hotter than its surface. The hotter it is the more energy is available; this leads to collisions between gas molecules. At such high temperatures this collisions can be explosive.
