Weather through the four seasons
Physics · Key Stage 1 · The School
Four seasons, four typical feels
Spring is often mild, with sunshine and showers mixed together. Summer is usually the warmest, with long, light evenings. Autumn brings cooler air and more wind. Winter is usually the coldest, sometimes with frost, ice or snow. Notice the pattern each year.
Keeping a simple weather record
Each day, write down one word for the weather. Sunny. Rainy. Cloudy. Windy. Snowy. Do this every day for a month. At the end, count how many of each word you wrote. That count is a real record, not just a memory.
Weather can surprise you
A season tells you what is LIKELY, not what is certain. A cold, wet day can happen in summer. A mild, sunny day can happen in winter. Do not assume the weather from the season alone. Check outside, or check a real forecast.
A month of weather words, counted
Look back at a month of daily weather words written down in June. Sunny appears 14 times. Cloudy appears 9 times. Rainy appears 6 times. Windy appears 1 time. Even though June is summer, six whole days were rainy, not sunny at all. The record shows the true pattern: mostly sunny, as expected for summer, but not every single day, exactly as the season would predict.
Why this matters
Knowing the general pattern for a season helps you plan. Pack a coat for winter, most days. But always check the actual weather too, because a season is a strong hint, not a certainty. Both the pattern and the day itself matter.
