Kids Books about Weather

The little girl in this singing video is just adorable! It's something you might enjoy sharing with your little one or ones.  I think kids will really enjoy seeing her sing along and do all the cute gestures for weather.

You can help even a very young child gain some basic knowledge of meteorology with books about the seasons. At first, perhaps he or she will be attracted to the pretty pictures or bright colors. But, as a child grows, so will their appreciation of what the book is all about.

I had a keen interest in weather at an early age. I wish someone had known enough to point me towards a career in meteorology, and what I would have needed to do to prepare for it. 

By the time I got to college, I did toy - briefly - with the idea of a major in meteorology, until other interests won out.(In those days, girls weren't exactly encouraged to take an interest in technology or the sciences)

If you know a child who is fascinated by the clouds, storms or other things that happen in the atmosphere, please encourage them in any way you can!

In the last decade or so, my interest in the subject has become rekindled.  I've really enjoyed pursuing learning about this fascinating subject just for the sheer joy of learning. The science of weather truly is fascinating!

Ordinary folks rush to protect themselves from an approaching hurricane.  Sometimes, they even leave their homes to run to safety from them.

Not Hurricane Hunters.  These brave meteorologists climb aboard an airplane and fly right into the middle, or eye, of these violent storms.  That's quite a career choice, wouldn't you say?
