wetterabhängigen

Wetterabhängig is a German word that translates to "weather-dependent" in English. It describes something that is influenced by or relies on the prevailing weather conditions. This term can be applied to a wide range of phenomena, activities, and systems. For instance, agricultural practices are often weatherabhängig, as crop growth and harvest yields are directly impacted by factors like sunshine, rainfall, temperature, and frost. Tourism can also be weatherabhängig, with outdoor activities, beach resorts, and ski destinations experiencing significant fluctuations in visitor numbers based on favorable or unfavorable weather.

Furthermore, the term can be used in an industrial or technological context. Energy generation from renewable sources like solar and wind power is inherently weatherabhängig, as their output varies with sunlight intensity and wind speed. Transportation can also be affected; flight schedules may be delayed or canceled due to fog, storms, or heavy snow, and road conditions deteriorate with rain, ice, or heavy snow. Even everyday decisions, such as choosing clothing or planning an outdoor event, are often made with consideration for the weatherabhängig nature of the situation. The concept emphasizes the direct and often significant impact that atmospheric conditions have on various aspects of life and the environment.
