Weather Poems for Haiku Day

Today is Haiku Day, a time to celebrate the Japanese short form poetry typically constructed of three lines of five, seven, and five syllables, respectively. We asked some kids to share their weather haikus. Take a look:

“Wolf Wind”
Wind blows fast and fast!
It howls like an angry wolf.
The wind stings me now!
— Julianne, age 7

Defining cloud shapes
A sunny rainy rainbow
Wish for thunderstorms
— Ellie, age 8

“Bird Spikes”
Robin wants to rest
On these funny sticks? OK!
Ouch! Away I go!
— Lucia, age 10

“Comfort for a Rainy Day”
My mother bakes pies
She cooks them to perfection
My mom likes to cook
 —Isaac, 12

Four distinct seasons
Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter
We enjoy it all
— Ella, age 15

Lots of lots of snow
The dark winter comes to life
Every snowflake’s different
 — Carly, age 15

Now it’s your turn! Write your own weather haiku and post it in the comments for a chance to win a Columbia Weather mug!

School Invests in Weather Station for Hands-On Learning

Image
We are always excited when educators invest in giving their students hands-on knowledge of how weather works, how it’s measured, and how it affects them. South River High School in New Jersey does just that. Last year, the school installed a  Capricorn FLX Weather Station  on one of their buildings. The Climate Change Club uses the data to report hourly weather readings to the National Weather Service. According to their website: “This will make South River High School a weather hub for pilots to collect current weather conditions of our area. The information that the club collects will also be archived for climate change data.” Administrator Kamila Miazio added that the club “provides a weekly forecast, satellite imagery of CONUS, and severe weather updates. The advisor is working to teach students METAR code (the weather code that pilots use to see current weather conditions for the area), report an hourly automatic observation with the weather equipment, record the data and...
