  This was the BEST video on WX I’ve ever seen, it’s a 2 hour presentation in 20 minutes! I’ll watch this before every checkride, thank you!

  I was an aviation weather forecaster for the US Air Force for 8 years. Can confirm that this is an absolutely excellent explanation. Wish I'd had this years ago. 😅

  As a PPL student, I&apos;ve watched a ton of weather videos, but this one takes the cake! It&apos;s hands down the best video I&apos;ve come across for the PPL level, and it&apos;s really helped me out.<br><br>In just 30 minutes, it condensed the five x two-hour metrology classes we had into one concise and easy-to-understand 30-minute video. It is a total game-changer!

  Meteorologist here. &nbsp;A great basic weather tutorial. &nbsp;I always have great conversations about METARs, and other weather phenomena (like Coriolis, Hadley Cell, orographic lifting, types of clouds, microbursts, etc) when I come across pilots, marine people, etc. &nbsp;Remember: in high pressure situations, the air is sinking so because it is moving to higher pressure near the surface, it generally heats up. &nbsp;Imagine going from a room with a few people to full of people (high pressure--&gt;lots of molecules)--it will feel warmer. In low pressure situations, warmer air at the surface rises and cools--and droplets form. &nbsp;<br><br>The cool thing about <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/weather">#weather</a> is that you can simulate this in normal everyday situations.<br><br>For example: Put a warm coke can in the fridge and after a few minutes, you&apos;ll see the water vapor on the outside (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/condensation">#condensation</a> ). &nbsp;Condensation is a heating process for the environment--&gt;in the case of the coke, the heat from the warm coke is moving to the outside environment creating the droplets on the outside (heating the air around it). To the contrary, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/evaporation">#evaporation</a> is a cooling process for the environment--like when you get out of the shower and you feel cold (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/evaporativecooling">#evaporativeCooling</a> ) &nbsp;Enjoy the lessons!

  I am currently in my CFI training and honestly never liked weather through all my training. This is by far the best explanation that breaks it down so easily that I find it fun to watch. Now I’m motivated to even learn a lot more where weather is concerned. Thank you for taking the time out to Give this great easy to understand explanation.

  I&apos;ve been flying for 25 years. One of the best short videos on weather I&apos;ve seen!

  Gee, in less than 30 minutes you summarized my entire course in meteorology. Brilliant! I had a few gaps of knowledge, for example the occluded front vs stationary front, that weren&apos;t well covered before. It is simpler than I imagined, I was just missing a few fundamentals. It&apos;s too bad weather news has degenerated into people reading the weather report with no idea what it means.

  Your videos are by far the most informative that I have seen anywhere. Thanks so much for making it soooo easy to understand and use.

  Holy shit. I’ve been reading and reading for days on meteorology for my PPL. Learned more from this video than days of reading.
