### In the lessons

In science and geography: weather is measured with a thermometer (temperature), rain gauge (rain), wind vane and anemometer (wind); a forecast says what the weather will be; weather (day to day) is different from climate (usual weather over many years). In safety: dress for the weather; stay inside in storms; sun protection on hot days. Phrases: weather forecast, bad weather, hot weather, under the weather (feeling ill), weather permitting, all weathers.
