Download these free weather tracker worksheets that are perfect for kids, homeschooling, or classroom fun! Use the printable daily and monthly charts to help your child observe weather patterns, build early science skills, and stay curious all year long.
I am excited to share these cute worksheets that I made recently. I hope you and your little ones love them too! Noticing the weather each day might seem simple, but for kids it’s a great start to understanding the bigger picture of how our planet works. One of my favorite things to do when my daughter was little was to go on trail walks and see all of the new and interesting things that caught her eye – sticks, bugs, rocks, leaves. I loved collecting treasures with her and talking about our finds, and adding them to a nature journal that we kept together. By observing clouds, rain, or sunny skies, kids start to see how these elements interact the environment around them and with the seasons. This fosters not only a deeper connection to nature but also valuable skills like observation, critical thinking, and attention to detail. These activities also help children practice daily observation, pattern recognition, and expand their science vocabulary.
Each page of this free weather tracking printable is set up to record a week, month, or year of weather with fun images that make it easy for even very young children to observe the natural world around them. Feel free to use at home, as part of your homeschooling curriculum, or in your classroom! These tracking pages also pair well with bullet journaling.
How to Use
- Print your chosen template and tracking method
- This free printable set includes weekly, monthly, and yearly weather tracking pages so you can record weather patterns in the way that works best for you. A weekly printable weather log is perfect for tracking daily temperatures and conditions, a monthly weather journal page makes it easy to compare changes over time, and a yearly weather log sheet gives you an overview of long-term trends.
- On your chosen weather tracking printable, write down the high and low temperatures, precipitation, wind speed, and sky conditions (sunny, cloudy, snowy, etc.). You can also note extreme weather events, frost dates, or seasonal milestones for gardening and outdoor activities.
- Choose Your Audience
- For Kids: Let them draw weather icons (sun, clouds, raindrops) in each day’s box. This helps teach observation skills.
- For Gardeners: Add planting notes, frost dates, or watering reminders alongside the weather info.
- For Hikers and Campers: Track conditions before and after trips to help plan better in the future.
- For Bullet Journal Fans: Trim and paste the chart into your journal to combine weather tracking with daily planning.
- Add Creative Touches
- Use colored pencils or markers to make sunny days yellow, rainy days blue, snowy days white.
- Add stickers or washi tape for a decorative edge. This works especially well if you’re using it in a journal or planner.
- Review and Compare
- At the end of each week, month, or year, look over your completed printable weather tracking sheets to see patterns and changes. This can help gardeners, homesteaders, hikers, and weather enthusiasts better plan their activities based on past weather data.
