This document discusses common weather tools, including thermometers for measuring temperature, wind vanes for determining wind direction, anemometers for measuring wind speed, barometers for air pressure readings that can predict weather, and rain gauges for collecting rainfall measurements. Each tool plays an important role in weather observation and prediction by providing key data points about temperature, wind, pressure, and precipitation.

1. Weather Tools
What are they? What do
they do?

2. The Most Common Weather
Tools Are:
•Thermometer
•Wind Vane
•Anemometer
•Barometer
•Rain Gauge

3. Thermometer
• A thermometer is a
weather tool used to
measure the
temperature.

4. Wind Vane
• By observing wind
vanes, we can know
the direction of the
wind. Knowing the
direction of the wind
is an important part in
predicting the weather.

5. Anemometer
• Wind speed is an
important part of
weather.
• An anemometer is a
weather tool that
measures wind
speed.

6. Barometer
• Barometers are
important to
measuring air
pressure. Air
pressure can help
you predict good or
bad weather.

7. Rain Gauge
• A rain gauge is a
weather tool used to
collect rain.
• Using measurements
on the side of the rain
gauge, you can see
how many inches it
rained.
