Chapter Notes: Weather

What is Weather?

Weather is what's happening in the sky. If you look out the window, you might see the sun shining, clouds in the sky, or rain falling down. The weather can change from day to day. It could be a sunny day where you want to play outside, or it might be rainy, so you need to wear a raincoat and boots if you go out. Weather is all about what's going on in the air and sky where we live. 

Changing weather

Weather changes

On a hot days: 

• Sun shines brightly. It is quite hot. We wear light cotton clothes and have cold drinks and ice-creams.

On cold days:

• People wear woolen clothes to keep warm. Hot drinks like tea, coffee, hot soup and hot snacks are liked by all. When it is very cold we sit in quilts and use heaters.

Rainy days: 

• It rains on some days, we wear rain-coats or use umbrellas while going out. It is difficult to go out in heavy rains.

Amazing Facts
On a rainy day, when rays of light from the sun fall on water drops in the air, rainbow is formed. 🌈

Windy days: 

• On some days the wind blows very fast, blowing many things with it. People prefer to sit inside the house with doors and windows closed.

Seasons

If the weather remains the same for a long period of time, it is called a season. In India we have five seasons:
Spring, Summer, Monsoon, Autumn and Winter.

1. In summer : We have hot sunny days.
2. In winter : We have cold days.
3. In spring : The weather is nice, lots of flowers and butterflies beautify the garden glory.
4. In monsoon : It rains sometimes heavily.
5. In autumn : The leaves on trees become yellow and fall. In autumn, it is dry and warm.
