Welcome Weather
Introduction
Do you know how dangerous weather can be? Boom! What’s that? A thunder storm or a giant
water monster! I change my mind, it’s a hurricane! Board up your windows. Wait a minute all the
water is gone all that is left is a twirling top! It’s a tornado! It has the fastest winds on earth which
can reach up to 300-400 Kmph (kilometer/hour). It stopped? Does anyone feel hot or is it just me?
Looks like a heatwave! Did you know Heatwaves are the most dangerous weather on Earth? In
order for it to be a heatwave it needs to be 100°F. “Br!” It suddenly got freezing cold. There’s also
a white out. It’s a blizzard. These are all weather hazards. And you will learn about them here!

Horrifying Hurricane
Have you ever thought about a hurricane and how they form? Well you’re in the right book! First,
I’ll teach you the formation then the damage and finally interesting facts. Well here’s the facts for
the formation. First fact is they can only transform in tropical water. That’s why they mostly
happen in the Atlantic oceans. They form when warm and moist air meets with cool air, over the
warm water. A hurricane has 3 body parts. First is the eye, it is the calmest part of the hurricane.
Next is the eye wall it protects the eye. And finally, the rain band it does a lot of damage. Thinking
about damage. Let’s learn about the damage. Hurricane can do a lot of damage. Hurricane can
knock down buildings and cause flooding. They can do damage to human creations and nature.
Also, I have some interesting facts too. Like did you know that hurricanes are called differently
depending where you are located in the world. They can be called a hurricane, cyclone or typhons.
In addition, they can be name to like hurricane Katerina or Mathew. Also, the winds of hurricane
are “zippy zap!” They reach to about 322 Kmph (200miles/hour). Well, I hope you learned a lot
about these natural disasters.

Terrifying Tornados
Think about a tornado, think it’s coming for you! Also, you don’t know what to do, well when you
read you will find out because you’re in the right chapter. First, I’ll teach you the damage, then the
formation, and also Interesting Facts! One fact is that tornados pick up cars and throw them out as
Debris (DEB-RI). Next they tear out trees by the roots. In addition, they can flatten buildings.
Also, they pick up cars and trucks. Now I shall teach you the formation of a Tornado. When warm
air rises quickly and cold air tries to replace it, and that operation repeats so quickly it creates a
tornado. Also, it is connected to a Funnel Cloud which was also created by the rotation.
Do you want to learn some Interesting facts? Well tornados rarely last 30 min. Also, the United
States experiences 100,000 tornados every year. Tornados can be formed over water, they are
called Water Spouts. Did you know tornados have the strongest winds on earth, may reach up to
322-480 KMPH which is 200-300 MPH. Now you know a lot about Tornados!

Tick-Tock Thunderstorm
What do you think will happen when there’s a thunderstorm? Now that’s what you’ll learn, First
I’ll teach you the Formation then the damage and finally some interesting Facts. Thunderstorms
only occur when there’s hot and Humid weather, that causes the air to Heat up. Also, they form
when warm moist air rise’s fast, like the formation of the tornado. The tall clouds produce rain
very quickly, and sometimes fall as hail. Now for the damage, lightning can cause fires since it
can hit trees and produce fire quickly. Let’s learn some fun facts for example one bolt of lightning
is as hot as the surface as the sun. Also, you can tell how far lightning is, it depends for how much
time you see it. For example, if you see it for 5 secs it’s 1.6 Kilometers (1 mile) away. Or if you
see it 3.2 secs its 3.2 Kilometers away. Thunderstorms are well known for the thunder and lightning
they produce, Light travels faster than sound so we see lightning before we hear thunder.
 The closer you are, the shorter the gap between the lightning and thunder.
 The speed of sound is around 767 miles per hour (1,230 kilometers per hour).
 The speed of light is around 669600000 miles per hour (1080000000 kilometers per hour
Did you know,
Thunder is difficult to hear at distances over 12 miles (20 kilometers). Also, Thousands of years ago
philosophers such as Aristotle believed that thunder was caused by the collision of clouds.
. Now I know you have a lot knowledge of this severe weather!

Blowing Blizzard
Do you know how cold it is in a Blizzard? It’s freezing cold! In this chapter I am going to educate
you on Freezing Blizzards. First, you’ll learn about how they form then the damage this weather
does and finally some interesting facts! So, let’s start the with the formation of this interesting
weather. First of all, it needs to be 32ºf or below. Also, the snow would need to be 3 FT or higher.
In addition, there should be drifts up to 15.2 m which is 50 Ft high! Blizzards do a lot of damage
such as a White out which means low visibility. They can also knock down powerlines. Also, they
can cause Avalanches that can bury up villages, cars, trucks, and also buildings. Did you know a
blizzard in 1922 killed 98 people because of the collapse of a theater! Now I’ll teach you some
Interesting facts. Blizzards have high winds which can reach up to 56 KMPH (35 Miles). Blizzards
last 3 hours or more. Did you know when blizzards occur in the East coast, they are called
`Nor’easter’. In addition, did you know that the snowiest city in the United States is Rochester,
NY. It averages 94 in of snow every year. Did you learn a lot? I hope so.

Historic Heatwave
Have you ever thought about a heat wave? It’s super dazing hot! Let’s learn about Heat waves!
First let’s learn about the Formation, in order to be a Heat wave, it needs to be 100°F or over, also
it needs to last 3+ days to be a heat wave. Did you know heat waves can cause a lot of damage like
in 2006 the heatwave killed 600 people and 1,200 were rushed to the hospital Also another fact is.
An Interesting fact is Heat waves are the most dangerous weather hazards known. Another Fact is
in the 1911 Eastern North America heat wave killed between 380 and 2,000 people. 1913 – In
July, a heat wave struck California. During this Heatwave, Death Valley recorded a record high
temperature of 57 °C (134 °F) at Furnace Creek, which still remains the highest ambient air
temperature recorded on Earth! Heatwaves mostly happen on the Equator because that’s where
most of the sun light is focused. When high pressure from aloft—10,000-25,000ft remains strong
over an area for several days to weeks, heat waves occur. This happens both in the Northern and
Southern Hemispheres during the summer as the jet stream follows the path of the sun. On the
equator side of the jet stream, high pressure builds up in the middle layers of the atmosphere,
Because summertime weather patterns tend to be slower than wintertime patterns, the mid-level
pressure also moves very slowly. The air sinks towards the surface under high pressure and then
acts as a cap holding in the hot air. Because the air cannot lift, cumulus clouds are less likely to
form, making rain unlikely. The creation of heat on the surface then becomes a heat wave.
 Also, some other facts are, Mid-July 1995: This heat wave affected the Ohio Valley
region as well as the upper mid-West. Across a five-day period over 700 people
lost their lives in the state of Illinois due to the combination of high heat and
humidity.
Mid/late July 2006: This heat wave affected a large portion of the continental
United States and even into southern Canada. Substantial ridging (high pressure)
became established across the majority of the continental United States.
Late July 2009: In a region that is not prone to high heat, this heat wave affected
much of the Pacific Northwest where temperatures soared into the 90’s across
numerous locations. This is very uncommon for this region.
 Late June into early July 2013: For a region most prone to high heat across the
United States, the desert southwest, experienced several days of extreme heat,
even based on their standards. It is not uncommon at all for many locations in

this region to flirt with 100 degrees Fahrenheit or even exceed it, however,
during this period temperatures would exceed 110F across many locations.
 August 8th-12th, 2006: A brief but intense heat wave impacted a portion of the
northeastern United States with temperatures pushing close to 100F in a few
spots. At times, high dewpoints made it feel between 105F-110F in some areas.

Weather Hazard Safety
Do you know what to do when there’s a weather Hazard? First, I will teach you Thunderstorm
safety and then how to stay safe for Tornados, Hurricanes, and Heatwaves. One fact is don’t go
under a tree for shelter because the lightning can burn the tree. Never get near water. In addition,
don’t get near the telephone or any metal because metal attracts lightning. This means don’t use
any electric Supply. Now let’s learn about Tornado safety Whoosh! Looks like there’s a Tornado!
Get down! Or go in a basement ‘if you don’t have one go in a closet or just go in the Bathroom!
But just stay safe. Do you want learn how to stay safe for Hurricanes, in case there is one? First of
all, stay in high grounds (area), or if you are in your house board up your window and put sandbags
in front of your house. I think there will be a heatwave soon! So, let’s learn how to stay safe for it.
Don’t exercise! Drink a lot of water take a cool bath or go to the swimming pool and avoid dark
clothing! Well I hope you know how to stay safe for these dangerous and severe weathers!

Hi every one my name is Syed Shumail Ali. I am 10 years old I was born on Nov, 20, 2009. I love
writing. My first book was all about Volcanos, ever since my father has encouraged me to get more
notes and write more books. I got a lot of new ideas from my teacher; Ms. Chang Now I wrote this
book and I hope you enjoyed It!
