Weather Observation & Patterns
📋 What it is
Reading clouds, wind and pressure lets you spot weather patterns and even make simple forecasts.
🗣️ Coach says
You can forecast weather by observing it. Cloud types hint at coming weather (tall dark clouds = storms), a falling pressure often means rain, and wind shifts signal change. Recording these patterns over time — and comparing to what actually happens — turns you into a backyard forecaster.
🧠 Memory hook
Read clouds + wind + pressure → spot patterns → simple forecasts. Compare prediction to reality.
