Whether or not you enjoy small talk, you have to admit that the weather is important and affects our everyday lives.
We experience many types of weather on Earth, from hot and sunny days to snow-covered nights, and everything else in between.
Rain or shine, these writing prompts aim to help get your brain thinking, so you can turn that thinking into writing!
How to use these prompts:
Using these prompts is simple! Pick one of the prompts from the list and start crafting an answer.
You can go in numerical order down the list or pick a prompt at random.

Neither snow nor rain nor heat will keep you from enjoying these writing prompts all about the weather! 😉
