Weather patterns: what repeats?

Review a week of recorded weather data to find what happened most often, or what repeated.

Scientists look for patterns: things that happen again and again. Looking back at many days of weather can show you a pattern, like three sunny days in a row, or rain happening twice in one week.

Finding a pattern in the past can even help you guess what might happen next, though weather can always surprise you too.

📋 For the teacher
Teach it (10–15 min):
  • Sit down with the chart together and count the marks for each weather word out loud.
  • Point out any repeating stretch, like two or three of the same weather in a row.
  • Ask which weather "won" this week, meaning which had the most days.
  • Remind your child that a guess based on a pattern is still just a guess, not a certainty.
Talk about it:
  • What weather did we have the most this week?
  • Did any weather happen two days in a row?
  • Can you guess tomorrow's weather from the pattern? Are you sure?

Mastery looks like: They review the recorded chart and correctly state which weather happened most, or name a real repeated stretch.

Common stumbles: Guessing the pattern from memory instead of actually checking the chart; treating one repeat as proof instead of counting properly.
