What's the Weather?
The condition of the air outside is called weather.
The weather also describes how air moves, and anything that the air may carry, such as clouds, rain, or snow.
The five main types of weather are sunny, rainy, snowy, cloudy, partly cloudy, and windy.
Sunny
It is sunny when the you can see the sun shining and nothing is in the way of the sun's bright sun rays.
Rainy
Rain is when the clouds let go of all the water stored in them and water droplets fall to the earth.
Snowy
In colder weather, when the clouds become heavy and release water, snow falls to the earth instead of rain.
Cloudy
When clouds fill the sky and cover the sun it is called cloudy.
Partly Cloudy
There are times when the clouds do not completely cover the sky and the sun may even shine a little. This is called, partly cloudy.
Windy
When the air moves quickly it is called wind.
