The position of the polar jet stream is usually somewhere between

Southern Canada and Mexico

Is the saying the higher the clouds the better the weather true

High clouds indicate the dry air and high pressure of fair weather.

so it is true

What happens in a stationary front

A cold air mass and a warm air mass meet, with neither moving.
During a stationary front the weather will stay the same for several days or more than a week. It depends on what type of front is making the other front stationary.

What is thought to have caused the ice ages

Earth's Precession

If the relative humidity is high and the temperature drops water vapor may

condense

How are pressure measurements related to weather prediction

Decreasing pressure indicates stormy weather.

Increasing Pressure indicates better weather.

What is the name for the warm water the flows north warming great Britain

The Gulf Stream.

Why do bodies of water tend to moderate temperature swings from day to day

Water has a high heat capacity.

In what way are cities microclimates

Cities are warmer than the areas immediately around them.

What method of forecasting uses the effects of past weather conditions as part of its forecasting method

analog method

On a weather map wind speeds are related to

the spacing of isobars is the correct answer

What are the important characteristics of a mild climate zone

a damp time of climate zone

When northern hemisphere south facing mountain slopes form a microclimate because they are

Drier and Warmer

How does region has a low pressure and a high pressure system moves in. What is the best prediction about the weather from this information

How does a region has a low pressure and a high pressure system moves in. What is the best prediction about the weather from this information?

which is not part of the recipe for a thunderstorm to form
