Grammar help please?

Hi,

Could you please advise me if these two words share the same meaning?


An abnormal / anomalous weather, behaviour, condition.


Cheers

'weather' is not countable, so you can't use 'an' with that one. 'behaviour' can be countable or not. Otherwise, OK.

Otherwise, OK. 'abnormal' and 'anomalous' are about the same.

So these are all OK:

Abnormal weather. Anomalous weather. (no 'an')
Abnormal behaviour. Anomalous behaviour.
An abnormal behaviour. An anomalous behaviour.An abnormal condition. An anomalous conditio
