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

• Wear light cotton clothes. 
• Enjoy cold drinks and ice-creams to stay cool.

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. 

• Wear woolen clothes to keep warm. 
• Enjoy hot drinks like tea, coffee, soup, and snacks. 
• Snuggle in quilts and use heaters when it's very cold.

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.

• Wear rain-coats or use umbrellas. 
• Difficult to go out in heavy rains. 
• Discover the magic of rainbows when the sun meets water drops.

4. Windy Days

• Wind blows fast, carrying things with it. 
• Stay inside with doors and windows closed on windy days.

Seasons

Seasons are when the weather stays the same for a long time. India has five seasons: Spring, Summer, Monsoon, Autumn, and Winter. Each season brings different weather experiences.

Various Seasons in India are: Summer Season, Winter Season, Spring Season, Monsoon Season and Autumn Season.

1. Summer

Hot sunny days in summer. Nature is vibrant with flowers and butterflies.

People wear light clothes, and it's common to see everyone trying to stay cool by drinking cold beverages or staying indoors during the hottest parts of the day.

2. Winter

Cold days in winter. Nature takes a rest, and leaves may fall.

Winter in India is when it gets cold, especially in the northern regions. People wear sweaters and jackets to keep warm, and it's a good time for hot drinks like tea or coffee. 

3. Spring

Nice weather with flowers and butterflies. Gardens become beautiful in spring.

Spring is when nature wakes up from the winter slumber. Flowers bloom, and trees start to grow new leaves. The weather is mild and pleasant, not too hot or too cold.

4. Monsoon

Rainy days, sometimes heavy rainfall. Nature gets a refreshing shower.

During the monsoon season, it rains a lot in India. This is important because it helps farmers grow crops, but it can also cause floods in some areas. People often use umbrellas or raincoats to stay dry. 

5. Autumn

It gets windy. Leaves start falling from the trees.

Autumn in India is when the weather starts getting cooler after the hot summer. Trees shed their leaves, creating beautiful colors like red, yellow, and orange. It's a pleasant time to enjoy outdoor activities like picnics or nature walks.
