The lesson
A weather forecast tells us what the sky may do. It can say if rain, snow, or big heat is coming. Forecasts help us plan and stay safe.
A big storm is coming soon. Mia's family packs water, a flashlight, and batteries. They stay inside until the storm passes.
Some days get very hot outside. Leo's family drinks lots of water. They stay in the shade to cool down.
If you are not sure about a warning, ask a grown-up. Look for safe answers together.
Forecasts help us get ready so we stay safe.
