Weather Systems in Motion (1986)

The film follows a group of hikers over several days as they experience the effects of an approaching storm. The narrator observes various weather patterns, such as cirrus and nimbostratus clouds, and reflects on weather folklore like “red sky at night, sailors delight.” As the storm develops, the hikers decide to stay put, learning about the structure and movement of cyclones and air masses. The film explains how mid-latitude cyclones form, their role in weather systems, and their importance in balancing temperature differences across the globe. After enduring the storm, the hikers emerge to clear skies, validating the old adage.
