Introduction to

Weather and Seasons

Vocabulary

Explore the rich language used to describe the ever-changing weather

conditions and the cycle of seasons. From sunny skies to snowy blizzards, this
presentation will equip you with the vocabulary to discuss the world's
atmospheric patterns.
Weather Conditions
• Sunny - Clear skies with bright, warm sunshine perfect for outdoor activities.
• Cloudy - Overcast conditions with varying amounts of cloud cover
blocking the sun's rays.
• Rainy - Precipitation falling from the clouds, ranging from a light
drizzle to a heavy downpour.
• Snowy - Frozen precipitation blanketing the landscape with a pristine,
icy layer of white.
• Windy - Strong air currents, from gentle breezes to powerful gusts, that
can impact daily life and activities.
Temperature
1. Hot - Scorching, sweltering temperatures that can make even the
simplest tasks feel exhausting.
2. Warm - Comfortable, pleasant temperatures perfect for enjoying
outdoor activities without feeling overwhelmed by the heat.

3. Mild - Moderate, agreeable temperatures that allow for a wide range of

comfortable clothing options.
4. Cool - Refreshing, crisp temperatures that can be invigorating,
especially on a sunny day.

5. Cold - Freezing, bone-chilling temperatures that require heavy layers of

clothing and can make exposed skin feel numb.
Precipitation
• Rain - Liquid precipitation falling from the clouds,
ranging from a light drizzle to a heavy downpour
that can soak the landscape.
• Snow - Frozen precipitation falling as delicate,
crystalline flakes that accumulate into a sparkling,
• white
Sleet -blanket.
A mixture of rain and snow, creating icy
pellets that pelt the ground and can make surfaces
treacherous to navigate.
• Hail - Hard, frozen balls of ice that plummet from
the sky, sometimes as large as golf balls, potentially
causing damage to property and crops.
Seasons
1. Spring - A season of renewal and growth, with blooming flowers,
budding trees, and milder temperatures after the chill of winter.
2. Summer - The warmest time of year, filled with long, sunny days
perfect for outdoor activities, swimming, and vacations.
3. Fall - Also known as autumn, this season brings vibrant foliage, crisp
air, and the transition to cooler weather before winter arrives.

4. Winter - The coldest season, marked by bare trees, snowfall, and the
need for warm clothing and cozy indoor activities.

Weather Forecasting
Predicting future weather conditions is crucial for planning daily activities, preparing for extreme
events, and understanding long-term climate patterns. Weather forecasters use advanced
meteorological models, satellite data, and real-time observations to analyze complex atmospheric
patterns and provide accurate forecasts.

Sophisticated weather monitoring equipment, such as radar systems and weather balloons, collect
vital data on temperature, pressure, wind, and precipitation. By analyzing these insights,
meteorologists can anticipate the arrival of storms, changes in temperature, and other weather
phenomena.
High-tech weather visualization tools help transform raw data into easy-to-understand weather
maps, charts, and graphics, enabling the public to stay informed and make informed decisions about
their daily plans and preparations.
Extreme Weather Events
Hurricanes
Powerful, swirling storms that bring
torrential rain, destructive winds, and
devastating storm surges, often causing
widespread damage and destruction to
coastal regions.
Blizzards
Severe winter storms characterized by
heavy snowfall, strong winds, and
extreme cold, making travel treacherous
and disrupting daily life for extended
periods.
Tornadoes
Intense, rotating columns of air that can
level entire neighborhoods with their
immense power and erratic,
unpredictable movement, posing a
serious threat to life and property.
Droughts
Prolonged periods of abnormally low
precipitation that can lead to water
scarcity, crop failures, and ecosystem
disruptions, with far-reaching
consequences for agriculture and
communities.
