Every kind of sky in one grid
Weather shapes every single day, and this puzzle gathers all of it. You'll be hunting for the everyday — RAIN, SNOW, WIND and CLOUD — the dramatic, from THUNDER and LIGHTNING to a HURRICANE or TORNADO, and the words forecasters love, like HUMIDITY and CLIMATE.
Because every new puzzle changes the forecast, no two weather word searches are the same. One round you're chasing a RAINBOW through the diagonals; the next a backwards BLIZZARD is whirling in the corner.
A bright idea for the classroom
Weather is a brilliant early-science topic, and a word search makes the vocabulary fun. It's great for geography and science lessons, and a handy quiet-time activity on, fittingly, a rainy day.
With no timer, it's a relaxed forecast of fun. Spotting LIGHTNING tucked diagonally into a corner is a small, electric win.
How to play
Drag across a word, or click its first and last letter — both work. Each word you find locks in with its own colour and ticks off the list, so you always know what's still on the horizon.
