What is Forecasting?
Weather forecasting is making a smart guess about what the weather will be like. It can tell us if it will be sunny, rainy, windy, or cloudy today, tomorrow, or even next week!
Scientists use computers, weather tools, and weather patterns to help make these predictions. Isn't that amazing?
Where can we find a weather forecast?
You can find weather forecasting on the news, a phone app, the newspaper or even on your computer.
What do weather symbols mean?
Weather symbols are like secret codes that tell us what the weather will be. Learning these symbols is the first step to forecasting!
Can you match the symbols to the right weather?
High temperature means hot!
When the temperature is high, it means it's going to be a hot day!
Low temperature means cold!
Brrrr! If the temperature is low, it means it's going to be a cold day. Sometimes, when it's really cold, we might even see frost or SNOW!
