When the sky is full of dark clouds there is a high chance of rain. There are weather radars that let us know when it might rain so we can be prepared. Weather apps on our phones are helpful in forecasting changing weather patterns. Rainy weather means rain boots, raincoats, and umbrellas.

How does rain form?
Rain is water vapour that collects in the clouds. The air is always full of water
vapours that are evaporating from the
ground.
The water vapours are warm and as they get higher in the sky, they get cooler. As it gets colder the water vapours bunch together and form clouds.

When the clouds get too heavy it starts to rain. Rain is important for many reasons. It gives people, plants, and animals fresh
water to drink. We all need water to survive. Rain fills the rivers, lakes, and oceans with more water. It can also used for electricity! |
