Sunny, cloudy, stormy, windy, cold, hot, dry…these are just some of the different types of weather we experience throughout the year. Some people experience all types of weather depending on the season, but other people experience only a few of these. It all depends on where you live. No matter where you live, though, chances are the weather can be very dangerous at times.

This web quest was created to not only teach about severe weather, but to also encourage students to learn about how they effect us. The goal is for students to realize that we all at some point have or will be affected by severe weather in our lives, and that it is important to know what it is.
