Five sisters live and work in different US cities. Each of them recently changed her place of residency. Identify the type of weather each sister should expect in her new location.
She’ll notice hotter temperatures
year-round due to more absorbed
radiation from the Sun.
She should anticipate less frequent
and lighter rain and snow showers.
She should prepare for hotter
overall temperatures, both day
and night.
She’ll experience cooler overall
temperatures, both day and night.
She’ll see more snowfall due to
elevated levels of moisture in the
air during winter.

Here are the pairs based on the information provided about each sister's new location and the expected weather:

  1. Hallie lives in downtown Los Angeles, California.

    • She’ll notice hotter temperatures year-round due to more absorbed radiation from the Sun.
    • She should anticipate less frequent and lighter rain and snow showers.

  2. Kendra lives and works in a community in the Appalachian Mountains.

    • She’ll experience cooler overall temperatures, both day and night.
    • She’ll see more snowfall due to elevated levels of moisture in the air during winter.

  3. Millicent runs a day care center about 10 miles from Lake Erie.

    • She should prepare for hotter overall temperatures, both day and night.
      (This is placed considering the move from a smaller body of water where temperatures might be more moderate.)

  4. Lisa attends a public university in Florida.

    • She should prepare for hotter overall temperatures, both day and night.
      This reflects a significant change from northern Wisconsin which has colder winters and milder summers.

  5. Tatum works as a ski instructor on Mount Hood.

    • She’ll see more snowfall due to elevated levels of moisture in the air during winter.
      (Given that moving to the leeward side usually means drier conditions, this would relate to her ski instructor work directly.)

Based on the geographic locations and their climatic implications, you can finalize the pairs in the way they are matched above.
