Reading Weather Maps
Your child can read a weather map and its symbols for sun, rain, and wind. On a rainfall graph, they can spot the wettest and driest months and predict what is coming.
In curriculum terms
Read and interpret weather maps, data tables, and graphs — identifying symbols for sun, rain, wind, and temperature; spotting trends and patterns in weather data over weeks, months, or seasons; and using data to make simple predictions

If your child saw a weather map with symbols on the news, could they read it and explain what weather is coming — and if shown a graph of monthly rainfall, could they spot the wettest and driest months?
