Learn the English Phrases SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH and SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING

In this English lesson

I wanted to help you learn the English phrase,

severe thunderstorm watch and severe thunderstorm warning.

They're slightly different.

Currently in my part of Ontario, Canada,

there is a severe thunderstorm watch.

That means that conditions are favorable

for the development of a thunderstorm.

That's a lot of words, a lot of hard words, actually.

What it basically means is

it's really hot, it's really humid,

there could be a thunderstorm forming at any time.

It means though that there aren't any thunderstorms

in the area yet.

So when they say that there is a severe thunderstorm watch,

it simply means that the weather conditions are right,

that that kind of storm could form at any time.

If it does happen, though,

if in my area or close to my area,

someone does actually see a thunderstorm

or if the weather people see it on the radar,

they would then change it to a severe thunderstorm warning.

When you are in a severe thunderstorm warning,

it means that a thunderstorm has been seen,

it has been sighted,

it's probably approaching and it will probably happen soon.

So currently we are in a severe thunderstorm watch.

Again, it's a little strange

because it really does not look like

it's going to rain today.

I really don't know if we're going to have a storm or not.

But currently we're in a severe thunderstorm watch,

and soon that might change to a severe thunderstorm warning,

when we actually start to see clouds form

and rain fall from the sky.

So anyways, we'll see.

Sometimes in our area,

they will say that there is 60% chance of rain,

or they will say there is a 60% chance of rain

and then it doesn't rain.

And then Jen and I are usually sad

because we want rain to fall from the sky

to water our flowers.

But let's move on to the second part of the lesson today.

Let's look at one of the comments from a previous day.

This is from Lalit Pal and Lalit says,

"the use of crystal clear is now crystal clear to me.

Thanks, Bob."

So I really like this comment and you can see my reply.

"You're welcome. I love this comment."

The reason I love this comment

is because Lalit Pal used the phrase

to express the fact that they understood the phrase.

So when they said, "The use of crystal clear

is now crystal clear to me.

Thanks, Bob", it actually made me smile

and it made me laugh a little bit

because it was cool to see someone use the phrase properly

in order to say that they understood the phrase

that I had taught.

So anyways, Lalit Pal, thank you very much.

But we're at the point of the video

where I'm just going to talk a little bit more quickly

about what's happening around here.

We are in another heat wave,

and so it's very, very hot.

I was outside this morning and my camera actually fogged up

when I was making my video.

What that means is that my camera was in the house

where it's air conditioned and it's nice and cool,

and when I brought it outside, everything got blurry

because there was moisture in the camera.

And for a while, I was a little bit worried

because this is my only camera.

And I was worried that it was broken,

but actually after waiting about half an hour,

all of the moisture somehow got out of the camera

and the camera started working properly again.

But because it's so hot and humid here my camera fogged up.

I think people who wear glasses

might have the same problem sometimes.

I can't remember

when you come from a cold air conditioned building

to the outside and it's hot out,

do they fog up?

Or do they fog up when you go from a hot outdoor setting

to an indoor cold setting that's air conditioned?

I'm not sure because I don't wear glasses.

Maybe I should go put my reading glasses on

and give it a try and see what happens, which direction.

Anyways, camera's working fine.

Lesson's made for the big channel tomorrow.

Lesson made here for today. Hope you're having a good day.
