Tell us your results below! Do you get ultimate weather geek bragging rights or do you need to take a crash course in meteorology?
I failed this quiz!! But it was still fun to take the quiz and try my luck!! But I definitely need the experts on the Weather Channel to help me!!
I got 9/10, missed the one about humidity. Not bad for a retired Army Ranger, I’ll have to pay closer attention next time.
Got actually 7 correct. 1 was an ooops w/hitting my standard-ZBook14’s enter-bar accidently. 7 out of 10 is good, but….. . My degree in meteorology is called 62 yrs of life. The stupidity w/in the weather service are obvious. Seems most Gov agencies have stupidity as its standard function. Educated fools are no different than high school blue collar’s mentality. I actually rather would work for & with blue collar than ANY WHITE COLLAR ANYWHERE!
I actually want to become a meteorologist when I grow up. 8/10 right.
10/10. Thanks, Jen Carfagno. You’re not only beautiful, you’re a genius!
I got 10 out of 10, learned from my mom, local weather, one meteorology semester in high school and of course hours of the weather channel.
I got 9 out of 10 right! I love watching the Weather Channel!
10 out of 10. My husband and I are Certified Storm Spotters with the NWS in Tampa, FL and I also work for a team of Storm Chasers out of Nebraska. I have to also be able to read radar somewhat to be involved with this team and my husband reads radar for the team as well.
Missed the ice one. Otherwise, pretty easy for a weather spotter and pilot. I’d better do well!
Uh oh. Need to get my head out of the clouds and work a little harder! Jim Cantore’s job is safe for now! Thanks Weather Channel!
I got 6 🙁 I need to watch more of Weather Underground!
Got 8 right — missed the Monsoon and the partly cloudy vs mostly cloudy. Should of gone with my first thoughts on both.
I FAILED BOO HOO. Watching the underground weather channel now. Can I take the test over?
I disagree with Question 1. The quiz showed a satellite photo of a circular cloud, having an elevated outer rim, a flatter and lower central layer likely due to a cold pool aloft, and a clearly-visible eye wall and eye. There was nothing said about the wind velocity inside the structure, so while the eye clearly says the storm had tropical characteristics, there wasn’t enough information to distinguish between a tropical storm with an eye, or a typhoon.
You make a valid point but a tropical storm that has an eye, that eye is typically loosely defined. More like what you might see with a very strong low pressure system over land. The picture they showed has a very well defined eye.
8/10 which actually surprised me! Love the weather and the science behind, and the gang on The Weather Channel that help us to understand all of this!
I got 9/10 I have always been fascinated by weather .
Only 8 of 10…going back to Weather Underground!
10 of 10 for me.
10/10 for me. My Master’s thesis was a pioneering GIS study (early 1980’s) of tornado distribution and recurrence probabilities in Arkansas.
Score of 8/10. Derecho & monsoon stumped me. Well, I’m no Jim Cantore.
9 out of 10, Proud to be a GEEK!
Only 5 right – would have got 2 more correct but screen was “touchy” and imputed the answers before I could pick one. LOVE the Weather Channel!!
6, pretty depressing, I bet some of the others got help to achieve the high scores.
Missed one about pancake ice and the one about partly cloudy vs mostly cloudy. Never can get that one right!
But 8 out of 10 made me very happy because now I feel free to say I am a weather geek!
8 out of 10. How did I not pick humidity and monsoon?
I love these quizzes. Always learn something when I get something wrong. Learned a fair amount today: 7/10.
I live in California. Why would I know about “pancake ice”? 7/10 And I never knew that there was a real definition of “heat lighting”. Lightning is lighting.
7 out of 10. The pancake ice threw me. Love Weather!!!
8 of 10. Weather is fascinating. Pancake icing and Heat lighting trip me up.
Darn got 9/10. I’m a trained spotter I should have gotten all 10!
I would love to have been a meteorologist!
10 out of 10 🙂 If I to start my career life over, I would like to work at the weather channel (meteorologist).
I got a 9 out of ten. It said that I need a career in meteorology.
What is your favorite place to visit on Vacation? What is your favorite Milk Shake flavor? What is your most favorite food to eat? What topics do you like to study?
I received an 8 out of 10 as well…. some of the questions were tricky!!!
Nuts! Got 8 right, but it would have been 100 if I went with my first guess on two questions; heat lightning and monsoon.
Right with you – in correct answers, wrong answers and thinking it was a fun quiz.
I got 8 out of 10! It told me maybe I should be a meteorologist as a career,but I was going to anyway!
10/10!!! Now I can prove to my friends I am the biggest weather nerd of all of us!!!!!!!!!
