Welcome to Low-Pressure Area, a podcast from Campbell Scientific that explores the weather around us and the environmental measurements that help us understand it. Each episode tackles the questions people really have about the weather, climate, and meteorological phenomena shaping our everyday lives. In episode 3 we explore temperature; what it is, where the word comes from, how we can measure it and even the surprising link it has to supermarkets.
