Weather is all around us, and it affects our daily lives in many ways.
It refers to the conditions of the atmosphere at a specific place and time. It covers elements such as temperature, humidity, wind, and precipitation (rain, snow, etc.).
The Sun and its Role
The sun has a significant impact on weather patterns. Its heat warms the Earth, causing air to rise and creating areas of low and high pressure. This causes wind, which is the movement of air.
Different Types of Weather
Sunny Days
When the sun is shining brightly and the skies are clear, we have sunny days. It’s a perfect time for outdoor activities and enjoying nature.
Rainy Days
Rain occurs when water droplets fall from the clouds. Rain is essential for plants, animals, and even filling up our lakes and rivers.
Cloudy Days
Clouds are formed when warm air rises and cools down, causing water vapor to condense into tiny water droplets or ice crystals. They can create different types of clouds, like fluffy white ones or dark storm clouds.
 Snowy Days
When the temperature is cold enough, water droplets freeze into ice crystals and fall as snowflakes. Snow is exciting for building snowmen and enjoying winter sports.
Extreme Weather
Sometimes, weather can turn extreme and become dangerous. Examples include hurricanes, tornadoes, thunderstorms, and blizzards. These events require extra caution and safety measures.
Weather Instruments
Meteorologists use various tools to measure and predict weather conditions. Some common instruments are thermometers (to measure temperature), barometers (to measure air pressure), and anemometers (to measure wind speed).
