Now, I'll tell you about weather forecast

Now guys, look. Do you know how to predict the weather? I think that most people satisfy themselves by watching the weather forecast. But if you are out camping, with no radio, computer or TV, how CAN you know what the weather will be tomorrow? Well, I'm here to tell you that.

The trick is to watch the clouds. The four, most popular clouds are cirrus, cumulus, cumulonimbus and stratus.



The cirrus looks like threads or bits of cotton candy. If you see them it means that the weather will be bad in two, three days time, and it'll rain.



The cumulus is a white, rather flat, fleecy cloud. They quickly change their shapes. Sometimes they look like a elephant, or a dragon, and a minute later duck. Cumuluses take shape in the morning, and disappear in the afternoon. Look for them, because they bring nice weather.



Stratus - it covers the whole sky. It's greyish, really thin (the sun can shine through it) and full of drizzle. If you see it, nearly 100% guaranteed that the weather will be bad and the drizzle will spit for two or three days.



Cumulonimbus is a real skyscraper made out of clouds. It goes really high, like a castle or a rocket. When he drifts onto the sky, don't go out camping or sailing. Go home and get ready some entertainment. Oh, how it'll rain and how the wind will blow! And probably thunder will show up too!

There are two more ways of telling what the weather will be like. Coming soon!
