[women exclaim]

[woman] Wonderful!

♪ Welcome everyone,
It's the Weather Show! ♪

♪ Bring your bathing suits,
Don't forget your boots and coats ♪

♪ Folks, we guarantee
The show that we perform ♪

Is never dull,
If there's a lull

♪ It's just the calm
Before the storm ♪

[women] Watch it change from
Icy cold to toasty warm

♪ And rearrange from sunny days
To crazy storms ♪

The curtain's rising
We're so glad to have you here

♪ Come see a new show daily
In the atmosphere ♪

[women] Act One: The sun!

[man] ♪ The sun shines down
On field and town!

♪ On forest, mountain, desert
Sea and snow ♪

♪ Some heat's absorbed,
Some bounces off, ha ha ha! ♪

♪ So here it's hot
While there it may be cold! ♪

[women] ♪ The heated Earth
Heats up the air ♪

Just like a big hot air balloon
Up up it flows

[man] ♪ Then cooler air
Sneaks in below ♪

♪ It's heated, too,
Now look out, folks, 'cause up it goes! ♪

The sinking air is called a high,

which means it has high pressure.

Low pressure air is on the rise,

and as they move together...

Act Two: The Wind.

♪ Those lows and highs ♪

They sink and rise

♪ The air begins to move and flow ♪

It circulates
At different rates ♪

And that creates the winds that blow

[women] ♪ The highs are nice,
They bring fair skies ♪

[man] Aha! But a low will often
Bring you clouds or rain

[women] ♪ And when they bump ♪

They form a front

♪ A changing of the weather in between ♪

As the highs and lows push and shove,

the weather front begins to move.

And if a front moves into town,

-it means a storm just may come down!
-[women gasp]

Act Three: The Humidity!

[women] ♪ Because of heat
Drops evaporate! ♪

From lakes and rivers
Puddles, even trees

♪ The air can fill ♪

Right to the gills

♪ With water vapor, that's humidity ♪

When clouds appear
Rain may be near

[women gasp]

♪ 'Cause the vapor's cool
And starting to condense ♪

- And if those drops
- Ooh!

-♪ Begin to plop ♪
-♪ Plop, plop, plop! ♪

That's precipitation, folks
You all get drenched!

[women] Yay!

[all] ♪ That's the weather, folks
You got your money's worth ♪

Hot or cold
Or soaking wet

[all] ♪ Hey, how lucky can you get ♪

The Weather Show's the greatest show
The greatest show

[thunder crashes]

Yes, sir!

[wind howling]
