You can see changes over time and compare conditions over several weeks and seasons. Reading the weather map helps children observe changes in the local climate. Use a weather map to look up the temperatures of cities around the world and discover how hot each gets in the summer and how cold each gets in the winter. Compare these figures with your town. Ask your children if they can think of reasons why different locations have different temperatures.
Many children enjoy finding the place that is the hottest or the coldest.
Watch cloud formations and make weather forecasts for your hometown.
