Journey to Becoming a Meteorologist

James was fascinated by the weather and dreamed of becoming a meteorologist. Every morning, he checked the forecast to see what the day would bring.

One sunny morning, the sun shone brightly in the sky, and a gentle breeze made the air feel pleasant. However, by the afternoon, clouds started gathering, and soon a rainy spell began. First, there was only a light drizzle, but it quickly turned into a heavy downpour.

Later that week, an unexpected storm hit his town. The loud thunder roared, and bright lightning flashed across the dark sky. The wind grew stronger, turning into a powerful gale. Suddenly, a hurricane warning was issued. The authorities advised everyone to stay indoors as the strong winds could lead to a tornado or even a cyclone.

In the winter, James loved watching the snow fall and cover the streets in a white blanket. Sometimes, instead of pure snow, there was sleet or even hail. On extremely cold mornings, the frost would make the roads slippery, and ice would form on windows.

In contrast, summer brought unbearable heat and high humidity. Some years, there was so little rain that a drought occurred, making the rivers dry up. Other years, too much rain led to a flood, causing damage to homes and fields.

One autumn morning, James woke up to find the city covered in fog. It was so thick that he could barely see a few feet ahead. As the day warmed up, the mist gradually disappeared, and the air became cool and refreshing.

James loved learning about different climates around the world—how tropical regions experienced typhoons, while arctic areas remained frozen most of the year. Every type of weather fascinated him, and he knew that one day, he would study the Earth’s atmosphere and help people prepare for nature’s changes.
