Geography   Wind Indicator   Mainly suitable for: KS2, KS3 Geography   Site owner's description: Printable - PDF (Acrobat reader) Weather Watch   Mainly suitable for: KS2, KS3 Review: Weather Watch is an interactive service which allows you to select schools from around the world (though most are in eastern United States) and see their weather. You have to select the schools from a drop down menu which is not large enough to give all the school name and location details, making the process a bit hit and miss. When you choose a school you get a page with the weather conditions there - if it has been entered by the other school. If not the message reads "no data". The statistics given are temperature (high, low, noon), sunrise/sunset, sky conditions and precipitation. Schools can register to join the program, contributing data.

It is possible to watch extended video clips of the actual CNN broadcasts, although these require an up to date Windows media Player. The site also has an interactive map which allows you to select the country you want weather for. In addition you can access area maps to show forecasts, temperatures and satellite images. Special reports give background information on hurricanes, tornadoes and wildfires, each with relevant images. The site is searchable (across all of CNN and not just the weather section), and there are links to the other sections of the site. A useful site if studying a hurricane and you are needing up to date information.
