The Changing Weather

What is Weather?

Weather is what the sky and air are like each day. It can be sunny, cloudy, rainy, or snowy.

Types of Weather

  • Sunny: Lots of sunshine and blue sky.
  • Cloudy: Clouds cover the sky, making it gray.
  • Rainy: Water falls from clouds as rain.
  • Snowy: Snowflakes fall when it’s cold.

Why Does Weather Change?

The sun warms up the air, and clouds bring rain or snow. Weather changes through the seasons.

Observing Weather

You can watch the weather by looking outside or checking the temperature.

Examples

  • Wearing a raincoat when it rains

  • Building a snowman in winter

In a Nutshell

Weather changes every day and affects what we wear and do.
