Why seasonal shifts are predictable, but daily weather remains a mystery
In short: If Earth's tilt alone dictated our temperature, forecasting would be simple. This video explores the complex layers of science that make predicting the weather so difficult.
Kate investigates the intricate distinction between climate and weather, examining why summer temperatures vary globally. While the Earth's tilt provides a foundation for the seasons, true climate is shaped by a vast array of variables, including altitude, ocean currents, proximity to water, and even the influence of butterflies.
The film seeks to determine if any location on Earth can truly guarantee idyllic, year-round holiday conditions by navigating the many-layered science of our changing seasons.
