Senses Forecasting
|
Miss Figgerbottom taught you that to forecast, you must
observe the weather. And you can observe the weather using all five of
your senses: Sight, Touch, Hearing, Smell, and Taste.
|
Sight is the easiest
sense to use when you forecast. If you look out the window and see rain,
then it's raining outside. Sight is very important and useful for forecasting.
You use sight when you watch clouds to forecast the weather, like in Cloud
Forecasting.
|
 |
Touch is another sense
that's easy to use when forecasting. You can feel the sun hitting your
face, and you can feel your face get colder when a cloud passes between
you and the sun. You use touch when you use the wind to forecast the weather,
like in Wind Forecasting.
|
|
Hearing
is useful for forecasting the weather. When you hear thunder, you know
that a storm is nearby, even if you didn't see the lightning. You can hear
the wind blow harder or softer through trees or as it whips around your
ears.
|
 |
It sounds funny, but your sense of smell
can help you predict the weather too. When you know it's about to rain,
smell the air. Rain has a distinct smell to it. A snow storm has a distinct
smell too. When you smell these aromas in the air, you know what kind of
weather is likely to happen.
|
| As for taste,
you really can't use it to forecast the weather. You can't taste the wind
or sunshine. You can taste rain or snow by catching it on your tongue as
it falls from the sky, but it won't tell you anything about the weather.
And never drink rain water off the ground, and never eat yellow snow. |
