1. Weather Tools What are they? What do they do?

2. The Most Common Weather Tools Are: Thermometer Wind Vane Anemometer Barometer Rain Gauge

3. Thermometer A thermometer is a weather tool used to measure the temperature.

4. Wind Vane By observing wind vanes, we can know the direction of the wind. Knowing the direction of the wind is an important part in predicting the weather.

5. Anemometer Wind speed is an important part of weather. An anemometer is a weather tool that measures wind speed.

6. Barometer Barometers are important to measuring air pressure. Air pressure can help you predict good or bad weather.

7. Rain Gauge A rain gauge is a weather tool used to collect rain. Using measurements on the side of the rain gauge, you can see how many inches it rained.

8. Studying the Weather Measuring the weather conditions help scientists predict the weather. Scientists can tell people to get ready for bad weather or a big storm. Meteorologists are scientists who use special tools to measure, predict, and study weather conditions.

9. Weather Map A map or chart depicting the meteorological conditions over a specific geographic area at a specific time.
