Printable Weather Diary
Kids love the weather! Splashing in puddles, spotting lightning strikes and eating hailstones, if you don’t stop them in time!
Getting to know the weather is a great way for kids to learn about other important things too, like the days of the week, months of the year, numbers and colors. Starting a weather diary brings all of these learning points together and keeps them interested for weeks, not minutes!
This downloadable template contains all you need to keep your kids excited and learning all about the weather, using important words and numbers, as well as practicing their drawing skills.

How To Use The Weather Diary
-
Tick Today’s Day: If remembering the days of the week is tricky, try setting them to music! My daughter loved clapping along to the Addams Family theme—it really helped.
-
Tick Today’s Month: Talk about special events or holidays in each month. Does anyone have a birthday coming up? Mentioning these helps kids connect with the months and remember them better.
-
Circle Today’s Date: If your child can count but isn’t familiar with written numbers yet, say the numbers together as they point to them. Older kids can try spotting the right date on their own.
-
Tick Today’s Weather Condition: Look outside and chat about what you see. Tick the weather that matches best. Ask your child to name different weather types from the pictures. What’s their favorite? What’s yours?
-
Colour Today’s Temperature: If you have a thermometer, read it together—kids love feeling like little meteorologists! You can also find the temperature online. Let them guess first—extra points if they get it right! Or, try counting cricket chirps for 15 seconds, add 37, and that’s the approximate temperature in Fahrenheit!
-
Fill the Rainfall Gauge: You can find rainfall info online or set up a simple weather station at home. Make a rain gauge with a plastic cup and ruler:
-
Add stones to the bottom to keep it steady.
-
Mark millimetres starting from the top of the stones.
-
Fill with water up to the stones and place it outside.
-
Check after 24 hours to see how much the water level has risen.
-
-
Draw the Weather Picture: Finally, encourage your child to draw today’s weather. Use colors and decorations to bring it to life!
You can print and laminate our weather diary to use with a dry-wipe marker daily—making it easy and fun to watch the weather change.
Printable Annual weather Chart
The Printable Annual Weather Chart is a fun way for your kids to keep track of the weather and learn all about the different months of the year.
The chart will keep children excited about the weather for the whole year, allowing them to learn how to recognize how the weather changes, about the different seasons, and their favorite time of year.
Keeping their learning about weather and the months of the year together in this simple chart will let them look back on the year and feel super proud of their weather tracking skills!

How To Use The Annual Weather Chart
- Have your child select a different colour for each weather type and colour in the key.
- Check the weather each day.
- Find the right square to colour using the months along the top and the days down the side.
- Colour today’s square!
- Repeat every day to build a colourful picture of the weather across the year.
As your chart fills up, get your child talking by asking them questions like ‘Which month was sunniest? Which month had your favourite weather? When did we have that big storm?
Did you know? The air around a bolt of lightning can reach 30,000oC. That’s 5 x hotter than the surface of the sun. Or, the same as the inside of a chicken nugget served at a cafe when your toddler is hangry.
Printable Weather Clock
Our interactive weather clock is a great resource for some hands-on weather fun. Cut out your child’s favourite clock hand on page 4 and use it to point to the correct weather on page 3.
A split pin will hold it in place and allow the hand to move. If you can’t find a split pin you can improvise with a pipe cleaner, paper clip or sandwich bag tie. Threading a bead halfway along, before you push your wire through is a great tip to stop it from falling out.

How To Use The Weather Clock
- What’s the weather like today? – Display by a window or door and have your child move the clock hand to show the weather each day. A fantastic way to get them learning key weather vocabulary.
- Show me – Name the weather types and ask your child to move the clock hand to show it. Make it trickier by saying things like ‘I would need an umbrella today’ or ‘I’d better not stand under any trees!’
- Small world play – Introduce a new element into their small world play. Hang the clock by their dolls house, train set, farm or dinosaur land. Now they can move the clock to change the weather in their small worlds. Do the dollies need to put on their coats? Has rain flooded the track? Are the dinosaurs struggling to find water? You may find this simple thing breathes a whole new life into your old toys.
Printable Weather Flashcards
These Printable Weather Flashcards are a fantastic way for your children to learn all the different vocabulary they need to recognize and talk about the weather with confidence!
Whether your kids are just starting out with learning weather vocabulary or are learning new ways to describe the different weather types, these flashcards offer a fun and creative way to get them talking about the weather time and time again with fun learning and games.

How To Use The Weather Flashcards
- Weather clock – Show the flashcards and have your child change the hand on their weather clock to match.
- Memory Game – Print two copies, cut out and lay face down. Take it in turns to turn over two cards each. If they are a match you get to keep them. The player with the most cards by the end wins!
- What to wear? – Lay out a range of clothes like a sun hat, wellies, scarf etc. Show a flashcard and have your child select the best clothing for that weather. They could even put the clothes on if you are looking for a fun way to practice getting dressed. If you have more children they might love the competition of a dressing race. Another option is to dress dolls, a great fine motor skill activity.
- Name it – Show the flashcards and ask your child to name them. Correct guesses go in a pile on the right and incorrect in a pile on the left.
