What is Weather?

Weather is what the sky and air are like outside. It can be sunny, cloudy, windy, rainy, or cold. What we wear, eat, and do can change depending on the weather outside.

Types of Weather

1. Sunny Days

Sunny days occur when the sun is shining brightly in the sky. During these days, the weather feels warm and nice, making it a great time for activities outside, such as playing, going for a walk, or having a picnic.

• On sunny days, it's common to:
  • Wear light and comfortable cotton clothes to stay cool.
  • Enjoy cold drinks and ice creams to beat the heat.

2. Cold Days

Cold days are when it feels chilly outside. You might see frost or snow, depending on where you live. It's a time to wear warm clothes like sweaters and coats, and maybe enjoy some hot chocolate or soup to stay cozy.

• Woolen Clothes: When it's cold, wear warm woolen clothes to keep yourself cozy.
• Hot Drinks and Snacks: Enjoy hot beverages like tea, coffee, and soup, along with warm snacks.
• Quilts and Heaters: Use quilts and heaters to stay warm indoors during very cold days.

3. Rainy Days

Rainy days are when it rains a lot. The sky gets cloudy, and water falls from the clouds. It's a good time to stay indoors, listen to the sound of rain, and maybe even splash in puddles if it's safe.

• Rain Gear: Wear raincoats or carry umbrellas to protect yourself from rain.
• Going Out: It can be difficult to go outside when it's pouring heavily.
• Rainbows: Rainbows form when sunlight shines through water droplets in the air.

4. Windy Days

Windy days are when there's a lot of wind blowing around. You might see trees swaying and hear the sound of the wind rushing by. It's fun to fly kites or watch the leaves dance in the breeze.

• Strong Winds: On windy days, the wind blows quickly and can carry things away.
• Staying Indoors: It's best to stay inside with doors and windows closed during windy weather. Avoid flying kites near power lines for safety.
