Weather Words

English has an oddly specific vocabulary for weather, probably because the British spent centuries talking about it. There's a difference between a "breeze" and a "gale," between "sleet" and "hail," and knowing these words matters if you're reading a forecast or describing conditions to someone. This list covers everything from gentle fog to full-blown hurricanes.
