How to Forecast Without Equipment 3 quick ways to forecast weather 1.Clouds 2.Wind 3.Senses

Cloud Forecasting Clouds can tell you many things about what the weather will do Clouds come in different shapes sizes and colors The type of cloud will tell the weather around you

Cloud Type and Weather Cirrus Clouds – Thin and wispy – Found very high in the sky – Point in the direction of the wind – No precipitation falls – Sign of fair weather now and the near future

Cloud Type and Weather Altocumulus – Like fuzzy bubbles in long rows or strings – Indicate a cold front is coming – In summertime may turn into thunderstorms

Cloud Type and Weather Nimbostratus – Dark and low hanging clouds that cover the whole sky – Usually will have light precipitation

Cloud Types and Weather Cumulus Clouds – Look like big cotton balls – Have large spaces of clear sky between them – Usually don’t carry rain – During spring and summer can turn to Cumulonimbus clouds

Cloud Type and Weather Cumulonimbus Clouds – Thunderstorm clouds – Tall & Wide – Usually have heavy rain and lightning – If you see them it will rain very soon

Wind Forecasting Wind Forecasting is simple and easy Early in the morning the wind will tell you how warm the day will be However the wind has to be strong enough for you to feel it

Direction and Weather First find north and face it Wind is coming from the south warm weather is on its way Wind is coming from the north cooler and dry weather is on its way East and west moving wind mean a variety of things

Senses and Weather How can you use your 4 senses to forecast weather?
