About this word search
British weather gets its own vocabulary, and several words here are ones a forecaster uses every week: Drizzle, Shower, Sleet and Breeze. Each describes something slightly different.
Drizzle is fine rain with very small drops, a Shower starts and stops suddenly, and Sleet is rain and snow falling together. Children who know the difference make much better weather reporters.
Words go across, down or diagonally in a fourteen-square grid, never backwards. Lightning and Hurricane are long. Dew, Fog and Sun are short. Afterwards, watch a forecast together and tick each word that comes up.
