For kids

Hello, future weather experts! Are you curious about the sky, clouds, and how the weather changes? You can be a Weather Watcher! It's fun and easy to learn about what's happening in the air around you.

What Do Weather Watchers Do?

Weather Watchers observe and describe the weather. You don't need any fancy equipment to get started! Here are some things you can do:

• Look at the sky and notice the clouds. Are they fluffy, thin, or dark?
• Feel the wind. Is it a gentle breeze or a strong gust?
• Watch for rain, snow, or sunshine!
• Write down what you see and feel.

Cloudy with a Chance of… Learning!

Clouds are like fluffy cotton balls in the sky. They tell us a lot about the weather. Here are some common cloud types:

1. Cumulus: These are the puffy, white clouds you often see on sunny days.
2. Stratus: These are flat, gray clouds that can bring drizzle.
3. Cirrus: These are thin, wispy clouds made of ice crystals, often seen high in the sky.
4. Cumulonimbus: These are big, dark storm clouds that can bring rain, hail, and even thunderstorms!

Become a Weather Detective!

You can use your observations to predict the weather! If you see dark clouds rolling in, it might rain. If the wind picks up, a storm could be coming. Keep practicing, and you'll become a weather whiz in no time!

Keep watching the weather, and have fun exploring the amazing world around you! You're doing great!
