Weather, Climate and Journey North Exploring Weather and Climate within Journey North Collecting, recording, and discussing local weather observations — and exploring the link between weather and climate — will enhance your Journey North studies in countless ways. These activities are central to understanding the timing of seasonal events and how they are interrelated. They are also important building blocks for understanding climate change and its potential impact on living things. Throughout Journey North, we make connections to weather and climate phenomena and encourage students to make local observations.
