Cloud Reading Walk

📋 What You'll Need

• •A spot with a clear view of the sky
• •A weather app for comparison
• •Notebook or phone to log cloud types

👣 Step by Step

1. 1Go outside and look up at the sky — note the cloud types you see.
2. 2Identify cumulus (puffy), stratus (flat gray), cirrus (wispy), and cumulonimbus (towering).
3. 3Note the wind direction by watching which way clouds move.
4. 4If you see dark, towering clouds building to the west, note it — weather often moves east.
5. 5Check a weather app and compare your prediction to the forecast.
6. 6Repeat at different times of day and watch how clouds change before storms.
