The clouds prevent air from escaping so the cold air can't get in because of the clouds are blocking it t works like a blanket

Why does cloudy nights have higher temperature than clear nights?

Clear nights often mean high pressure sytems which often means cold air. Cloudy nights often mean low pressure systems which often mean warm air.


What is high air pressure associated with?

High temperatures, sunshine, and clear skies.


What is a high air pressure system known as?

areas of high pressure often have a clear sky.areas of low pressure are often cloudy


Why is there no humidity in the Red Sea area?

Winter is warm with cool nights, and summer is hot, but rain is incredibly rare. No rainfall, but high temperatures means no humidity.

What do uv rays go back as?

Light rays of every frequency strike the Earth all the time. Some of the light is reflected back into space, from clouds or the oceans; some of the light is absorbed, which heats the Earth. Some of the heat energy is re-radiated into space, especially on very clear nights. (If you have ever wondered why clear winter nights are so much colder than cloudy winter nights, this is why; the heat of the Earth is escaping into space! Winter clouds act as a blanket, trapping the heat close to the ground.) So, high-frequency UV light is sometimes absorbed, while lower-frequency heat is re-radiated.


Why is barometric trend important to know?

The Barometric Trend will tell you the air pressure. If the air pressure is high the weather will be clear and sunny, but if the air pressure is low the weather will be cloudy.


Is it colder outside when the sky is clear or when it is cloudy?

There are many factors to consider, but one of the biggest is time of day. Clear skies during the day allow the sun to heat the ground more than on a cloudy day, resulting in warmer temperatures. However, at night a clear sky allows more energy to radiate back into space making for colder temperatures. Clouds at night act like a blanket, keeping warm air in, while during the day they block the sun's rays, keeping it cooler. Larger scale weather patterns can have the opposite effect where an area of high pressure results in sinking air, clear skies, and colder temperatures. A passing warm front on the other hand can be marked by increasing clouds, rain, and warming temperatures.


Why do low clouds form with high pressure?

Because there is still moisture available, and high pressure regions typically have strong inversions which can trap cloud, giving rise to "anticyclonic gloom" with a full, or near-full, cover of stratocumulus resulting in a cloudy day. Also, fog and stratus are common due to clear nights and strong radiative cooling. These conditions are especially common in the cooler months, where heating from the sun isn't sufficient to break down upper level temperature inversions and clear stratus and fog.


What is high temperatures?

th normal summer high temperatures are 105.


How does temperature relate to pressure?

if your talking about like how on the news they say high pressure and low pressure, high pressure= clear skies (most likely warmer) and low pressure= cloudy and rainy weather (most likely colder) ... :)
