2 We get one of these when the level of water in a river increases and comes onto the land, 3 This is what we call it when there is heavy rain and wind. Sometimes there is thunder and lightning. 4 We use this adjective to describe the weather when it is very cold and the roads and rivers are covered in ice. 5 This is the word for the four parts of the year that we call summer, winter, spring and autumn. 6 We find these in the sky.They are made of lots of drops of water They are white, grey or black. 7 This is the season between winter and summerThis is when the flowers start to grow. 8 This is the loud noise we sometimes hear when there is a storm.

Hp Read the text and answer the questions. A Difficult Job Weatlier forecasters present weatlier forecasts on the television and radio news. It is a very difficult job because everybody wants weather forecasters to know what is going to happen in the future! Weather forecasters study the weatherThe study of weather is called meteorology. People who are experts on meteorology are called meteorologists. Meteorologists learn about storms and floods. Sometimes, people get angry with weather forecasters. If a weather forecaster says,Tomorrow it will be warm' and then it is very cold, people do not like that.The weather forecaster said it was going to be warm,' people say, feeling cold in their T-shirts. Weather forecasters know lots about sunshine in summer and raindrops in spring.They know about ice in winter and fog in autumn. But they cannot be right all the time.The weather is always surprising! So, before you leave the house, look at the sky, and make your own weather forecast! 1
