how does weather affect farmers?

well if they are growing crops and there's a drought and the plants can't get to the water, the farmer won't have enough food, and if they sell their crops, since there's no crops, the farmer won't have money.

Farmers shouldn't be sued...they work very hard and get covered in mud...they need lots of countryside hugs to keep them happy x

The rain in Spain does not fall mainly in the plain, rather than in the Northwest and centre of Spain with shortfall along most of the coasts, Balearic and Canary islands. \n\nIn fact, Spain has more than enough rainfall to meet its requirements, including those of agriculture but what it has, isn't very well distributed.

Shallow farming without crop rotation then add in a period of little or no rain

it depends on the species, the soil condition, the amount of sunlight and the temp and wind or lack of.

Humans affect the phosphorus cycle when farmers put fertilizers with phosphorus in them on their fields.

comfort in weather varies from person to person also has to do with diet,vitamins,and circulation so if yours are working good your probably just fine.everyone has their own comfort level.if your warm and they arent ask them if they are getting enough iron.

It can be one or the other or both.\n\nFor example, farming may change a forest into land that is easily eroded. Climate changes include lots of rain either at the site or upstream Maybe a hot summer will melt more snow from a mountain..there are just a few examples.

Actually, that is why there is a 10 month school year.  The kids were needed on the farms during the summer.\n\nAnd I am not going to try to verify the figures, but you have a number of migrant workers that move from crop to crop as the weather changes.  Which means starting out in the South, then moving North in late summer.\n\nThere are also some crops that cannot be mechanically harvested, they are too fragile.  Most of the berries are in this category.  Yeah, you can mechanically harvest pretty much all the grains, but I would love to hear of a machine that can harvest strawberries.\n\nUm, with an official population of 350 million or so, 12 million is indeed a small number.   And they are not even officially counted as population...

Concrete, glass, steel etc all absorb heat from the sun, when the temperature drops they act like radiators giving off heat.  The bigger the city the more heat it retains and so large cities such as Tokyo, London, New York can be several degrees warmer than the surrounding rural areas.\n\nIf you're ever out in a rural area on a cool night at the end of a hot day try walking on the road then walking on the grass - there's a marked difference in temperature - that's why cattle, sheep etc often congregate on roads in the evenings.\n\nCities also generate much more heat from motor vehicles, industry, heat escaping from buildings and even (to a small extent) the people in them.\n\nAdditionally, cities create pollution and this acts as a barrier which traps heat in and locks colder air out.\n\nThere's also the fact that cities tend to be at lower altitudes and for each 150m gained the temp drops by 1 degree C, and they're less windy than more exposed rural areas so it's harder for cold air to penetrate into a city.

well if the wind is not blowing then you will have high pressure and rising until the weather is about to change. not sure about the other stuff you typed under your major question.

Geographic features can affect how and where the population live. Most of Australia live near the coast as the inner land is more inhospitable. (I generalise there)\n\nIt can affect the produce and industry. Is the land suitable for farming, is there water nearby, does it flood easily?\n\nThink of it this way - where would you like to live/work/play? What is it about that place that makes you choose it? Where would be the complete opposite?\n\nHope this helps.

"How plants are affected by temperature\nCardinal Temperatures - The temperature (T) below or above which a biological process does not occur. Physiological temperature range varies with the organism; extremes for most plants is between 0 and about 50 oC; each plant species would have a range more or less peculiar to it; plants are bred or selected for adaptation to temperature. \noptimum - T at which plant functions best \nminimum - T below which plant will not grow \nmaximum - T above which the plant cannot grow \nTemperature and plant growth - Illustrated by Q10 \nQ10 indicates how temperature will affect the rate of a process.  The higher the Q10 of a process, the more it is affected by temperature.  A 10oC increase in temperature can double the growth rate (a biological process) resulting in a Q10 of 2.  A shoot might grow 10 cm per day at the optimum temperature of 30oC but only 5 cm at 20oC giving a Q10 of 2.0 (Q10 = Rate at T + 10 oC/Rate at T).  The Q10 only has meaning within the narrow temperature range where a biological process increases with increasing temperature. \nPhotosynthesis (P) & Respiration (R) - PNet = Pgross - R; Keeping Pgross constant and varying R alters rate of growth and dry matter accumulation; unadapted plants accumulate dry matter more slowly than do those well adapted to their environment. \nCrop Development - correlation with temperature \nGrowing-degree day (GDD, heat unit, thermal time) - used to predict biological events. Accumulated GDD is related to time required to reach some phenological (development) stage of a crop. Corn, soybeans and many other crops are bred for adaptation to fairly specific environments; some are bred to require a specific number of  GDDs to reach maturity. \nCalculation \ncalculate mean daily temperature \nsubtract basal temperature (temperature below which growth does not occur) \nTmean = 23 oC; BT = 10 oC; 23 - 10 = 13 GDD \napproximately 3000 GDD required for pineapple fruit development. That equals 180 days during summer at Wahiawa but 220 days in winter and 250 days during winter at 2600 feet (796 m). Sweet corn maturity predicted using GDD on mainland."

no.  it affects the tides in a big way though, which can lead to weather.  But the moon doesn't affect our weather directly

(Dunno, but weather's s'posed to be good there in the fall...)\n\nTry the Old Farmer's Almanac - they have long-range forecasts.\nhttp://www.almanac.com/weathercenter/

I have similar problem myself.  I have breathing difficulty when the weather change slightly, even more accurate than the weather forecast.\n\nThis is rather common, similar to a lot of immunological reaction, such as hay fever and asthma.  The immunological response in your body is suppose to fight the attack of any foreign infection.  However, sometime, some seemingly harmless particles such as dust or nut protein could trigger a massive reaction which results in fever, imflammation, swollen blood vessel and high blood pressure.
