EXAMPLE
1. INTRODUCTION
Hello all. My name is Aitor Tilla and this is my mate Josechu Letón.
We are going to explain you the today’s weather forecast.
2. DESCRIPTION:
Here we have a map of Europe with the main isobars, anticyclones and depressions, and areas of precipitation.
There are two areas of low pressure below 1015 hPa over the British Isles and over north Spain and two areas of high pressure above 1015 hPa over the Atlantic Ocean and North Africa.
3. YOUR FORECAST IN SPAIN AND ARAGON
The weather in Spain will be unstable, mostly cloudy and rainy because of the action of this Depression. Aragon and Zaragoza will have the same situation.
The isobars are not very close so wind will be soft.
The presence of a cold front means that the temperature will be cold on north Spain.
Thanks all for watching. We hope to see you in our next forecast.
Bye!
