Weather and seasons — Vocabulary words for kids

Weather words describe the sky and the air: a gentle breeze, light drizzle, thick fog, a loud clap of thunder. Some name long spells of weather — a drought (no rain for a long time) or a flood (too much water on land) — and India has its own rainy season, the monsoon.

Word tip

Picture the sky — “imagine the weather, then choose the word that names it”

  1. Picture the weather in the sentence: is it hot, wet, windy or cold?
  2. Rain words go from light to heavy: drizzle → rain → storm; too much water is a flood, no rain is a drought.
  3. Seasons: summer (hot), monsoon (rainy), winter (cold).

Use it for: Geography and EVS lessons, diary writing, and reading the weather report.

Worked example: Which word means “a long time with no rain”? → drought

  1. Think of fields that are dry and cracked because no rain has come for months.
  2. That is a drought.

Check: A flood is the opposite — too much water; a drought is no rain ✓
