How do we forecast the weather. Why do we get so many different types of weather? In this workshop, we go outdoors to learn more about our weather and if forecasting is as simple as it seems! Using map skills we will stop at different locations in Holyrood Park to make weather observations and measurements. Looking at temperature, wind speed and clouds, we will collect information to create a weather report.
