Weather Riddles

There is something you see

When outside there's a storm

It comes down from the clouds

and appears in droplet form

• lightning

• snowy

• rain

• wind

If you see this striking Earth

A tree you don't want to be under

It's something that lights the sky

And is closely followed by thunder

• lightning

• rain

• sunny

• snowy

Dropping from the sky

More beautiful than rain

There are no two pieces

That'll never look the same

• wind

• snow

• thunder

• ice

If you look up during the day

Then you will see this lit

Because it is Earth’s closest star

Around which we orbit

• rainbow

• sun

• ice

• wind

This natural phenomenon

Cannot be seen when it is dark

For it’s caused by light hitting rain

To create a colourful arc

• blizzard

• lightning

• snow

• rainbow

I’m a breeze or a squall

A cyclone or gale

I am what is measured

On the Beaufort scale

• wind

• hailstones

• cloud

• sunny

I happen after a flash

But I'm not a photograph

You hear me in a bad storm

I am lightning's other half

• foggy

• thunder

• heatwave

• rain

I can come in three forms

But this is my solid-state

And when I’m hard enough

On me, you’re able to skate

• cloud

• tornado

• ice

• snow

This is something you see in the sky

You’ll need more hints though so I’ll explain

It’s sometimes fluffy and sometimes gray

And can release snow, hail or rain

• foggy

• cloud

• ice

• rain

This is a type of weather

A phenomenon that was

What causes the house to lift up

In the film Wizard Of Oz

• blizzard

• lightning

• tornado

• hailstones
