About this word search

Cumulus is the puffy cloud of a summer afternoon, and its name means heap in Latin. Celsius is named after the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius, and a Barometer measures air pressure, which helps forecasters predict a change.

Monsoon and Typhoon come from further afield. Typhoon is the name used for a tropical storm in the western Pacific, while the same kind of storm in the Atlantic is called a hurricane.

The grid is eighteen squares across with words in all eight directions. Meteorologist and Thunderstorm are the longest. Look for the Y in Humidity and Typhoon and the W in Windsock.
