A weather tight bulkhead is generally accepted to prevent the ingress of water from the weather side only. A watertight bulkhead is designed to prevent the passage of water from either side under a pressure head and this is normally provided as a rating eg 30 meters or 3 bar. Access and egress must be through equivalent rating doors.

What is the scientific difference between warm weather and cold weather?

During cold weather, molecules in the air move more slowly than they do during hot weather. The earth is actually closer to the sun in winter time; the tilt of the axis (northern hemisphere away from sun) is what deprives the earth of the sun's heat.


What is the difference between whether and weather?

What is the difference between rain and showers?

Even though "showers" are indeed rain, there's a difference between the two as far as weather forecasts go. When meteorologists call for "Rain," it is a more widespread event. Most of the area will see rain and it'll last for a while. "Showers" are scattered, not everyone will be getting wet at the same time. It could be raining in the suburbs, but dry in the city. Plus, showers tend to be much shorter in duration -- anywhere from a minute to an hour.


Climate is the weather?

Many people get confused between climate and weather. Climate is long term and usually talks about the weather conditions in a certain place for a long period of time. Words like "hot and humid" or "cold and dry" can be used to describe a climate. Weather on the other hand is a short term and usually talks about a certain time like the weather tomorrow is sunny. Words like "sunny, rainy, cloudy, snowy, and thunder" can be used to describe weather.
