A forecast is like a magic crystal ball that helps us guess what might happen in the future. Imagine you want to know if it will rain tomorrow so you can decide if you should wear your rain boots. The weather forecast is like a special helper that tells you, ‘Hey, it might rain tomorrow, so maybe wear those boots!’ It doesn’t always get it right, but it gives you a good idea of what might happen.
Think of a forecast as a treasure map. When you have a treasure map, it shows you where the treasure might be, but you still have to walk the path and see if it’s really there. A forecast shows us what might happen, like if it will be sunny or rainy, but we have to wait and see if it really happens.
A forecast is also like a recipe. When you make cookies, you follow a recipe that tells you what the cookies might taste like. But sometimes, they might taste a little different. A forecast tells us what the weather might be like, but it can change a little, just like cookies can taste a bit different each time you make them.
