Weather is what the sky and air are like. It can change from morning to night. Sunny, rainy, windy, snowy, cloudy, foggy, and stormy are all weather types.

Try it together

Today, Mia looks out her window. The sky is gray and full of clouds. Small drops of rain hit the glass. Mia says it is cloudy and rainy today.

Good to know

Weather changes every day: sunny, rainy, windy, snowy, cloudy, foggy, or stormy.
