Weather
Weather refers to the atmospheric conditions in a particular place at a particular time. It includes elements such as temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind speed, and cloud cover.
Types of Weather
There are various types of weather, including:
- Sunny: When the sky is clear and there is abundant sunshine.
- Cloudy: When the sky is covered with clouds, which may or may not bring precipitation.
- Rainy: When there is precipitation in the form of rain.
- Snowy: When there is precipitation in the form of snow.
- Windy: When there is a significant movement of air, often causing the displacement of objects and creating a cooling effect.
Measuring and Predicting Weather
Weather is measured using instruments such as thermometers, barometers, anemometers, and rain gauges. Meteorologists use this data to predict future weather conditions, often providing forecasts for the coming days.
Impact of Weather
Weather can have a significant impact on human activities, agriculture, transportation, and natural ecosystems. Extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, and blizzards, can be particularly disruptive and dangerous.

Measurement and Data
Describe and compare measurable attributes.
Directly compare two objects, with a measurable attribute in common, to see which object has “more of” or “less of” the attribute, and describe the difference. [K-MD2]
Classify objects and count the number of objects in each category.
Classify objects into given categories; count the number of objects in each category, and sort the categories by count. (Limit category counts to be less than or equal to 10.) [K-MD3]
