Come Rain, Come Shine

Activity TWO

You can use the Internet to find the weather forecast for almost anywhere in the world...

STEP 1

There are many places on the Internet that have weather information. The one you used in Activity One is called "Yahoo Weather Forecast". You can use this site to find the weather forecast for lots of different places in the world. You can also see weather maps, find satellite images, and get lots of other weather information. Click on this URL address to go there and "explore" now: http://weather.yahoo.com/ (Be careful to use your "Back" button to get back here. Note: Some parts of this site will open a new "window" to show information-- you'll have to first click the new window "closed" before you can use the back button to return here.)

STEP 2

You can also check other Internet weather websites such as http://www.cnn.com/WEATHER/ or http://www.nws.noaa.gov/ (And then come back here again, using that "Back" button!)

STEP 3

Finally, you can use a "Web Search" site to find other weather related websites for many places around the world. Searching sites like http://www.goto.com or http://www.altavista.com will get you started... there are others as well. (Don't forget to come back here when you're done looking)

STEP 4

By now you should be well on your way to using the Internet to find the weather forecast for almost anywhere. Congratulations! Next you should go to ACTIVITY THREE.
