Do you know because your parents tell you what to wear or is there another reason for your choice?

Which outfit would you wear if it was snowing outside?

on a hot, sunny day?

How can we make sure

that we are

prepared for the

weather?

The weather report is done throughout the day on TV and

radio news programs. It is

also in the newspaper and on the internet.

People who study and report on the weather are called meteorologists.

Meteorologists have special tools to help them track

weather patterns.

They can measure how much rain has fallen by using a rain gauge.

A weather vane can tell which direction the wind is blowing.

An anemometer tells how fast the wind blows.

A thermometer tells if the temperature is hot or cold.

There are many types of weather.

Sometimes weather is

more severe...and we need to

be more careful.

Thunderstorms are fun to watch from a safe place.
