Weather Maps (interactive!) on That Blue Square Thing. A bit inspired by a tweet from Noel Jenkins and by some Year 3/4 work I saw at my son's primary school, I dug out some old drag and drop html techniques and came up with an interactive weather map. You can use the standard 70s/80s BBC weather symbols to produce your own weather map. The symbols will move around however you want them to and you should have plenty of symbols to play with.
I think there are probably a wide range of potential uses - from primary up to lower secondary certainly: developing familiarity with weather symbols and types of weather students presenting their own weather forecast predicting future weather if you have a board you can write on then you could add your own frontal systems having maps open in more than one window would allow you to show the passage of weather across the UK creating weather maps and saving them using screenshots for use in class There are some technical notes at the foot of the page you might want to read.
