MAPPING

Using the Synoptic Maps and the Sydney weather report below answer the following questions: (more questions under the synoptic charts). Copy the images from this page and put them in your blog.

1. What is it about the pressure system stalled over Australia that relates to the weather over the next 4 days? the air pressure is quite high for the next four days which means that the weather will probably be very nice and sunny weather, which is what the weather forecast is. it says that the weather is going to be a very good temperature and with a very clear and sunny sky. 
2. What is the air pressure in each of the next 4 days for each of the capital cities? How does this correspond with the predicted weather for these cities? the air pressure for the next four days is going to be quite high in Sydney, Hobart, Melbourne and Tasmania. Perth and Alice Springs are still quite high but not as high as the others. Sydney, Hobart and Tasmania are on 1020. Alice Springs and Perth are 1016. this means that they will all probably be quite sunny and quite nice days in most or possibly all of those major cities.
