Another day is just washing away and now we are heading overseas in just two more days. As we leave the house I feel uncomfortable, I have lived in this old cottage my entire life, and now we are just going to pack up and leave it. I’m in the and about to exit. Mice are running up and down my stomach. My house is a little bungalow in the woods deep in Africa. I quickly go over my life memories here and make a mental note not to forget them. Then we leave. But then the weather changed dramatically...

The weather that changed dramatically

I put my nice colourful hat on my head and stepped onto the beach with my jandals on my feet. It was a scorching hot day, so I slapped sunblock all over myself. Sitting down on my fluffy towel, I watched the sparkling blue waves crash onto the sandy beach, all while eating a nice chocolate ice-cream. I decided to take a short swim in the ocean and then all of a sudden the weather changed dramatically. The wind was blowing the sand everywhere and next thing there was sand in my eyes and mouth. Rubbing my eyes I was finally able to reopen them again. Typical Wellington Weather.

Sweat drips down my face like ice melting. The sun's heatwaves rush towards me. I take another step upwards, “BOOM” I crash. Lying in the mossy grass, wanting the day to end. People running past that have no care. Scrambling around for my drink bottle I take the few drops I have. But then the weather changed dramatically. The river rises. The sky was covered by a cloudy blanket, heavy rain still made its way. Everyone running down to the bottom of the hill with disappointment. But the one and only Sophia Clarke standing there twirling in the rain.
Laughing.

The sun beamed brightly through the tinted windows, in what felt like the hottest day of the year, but then the weather changed dramatically. Just as the clock would turn from morning to noon, a huge, mysterious, grey cloud covered the sky like an enormous blanket. The temperature also suddenly changed as well! The sunny, hot, fuzzy affection turned to a freezing, stiff and icy feeling. As if on cue the rain started crashing down like waves in the sea. Soon enough thunder and lightning joined the club as well. It’s so strange how the weather changes just like that.

Lazy days on the beach are not ones to miss. It pure paradise to be lying on the golden sand. Then the weather changed dramatically from blue skies, blazing sun, to dark grey clouds smothering the sun and the steady stream of rain. Suddenly I caught a glimpse of a swirling funnel shaped thing, picking up more sand with every movement slowly getting closer. I didn’t think for one more second, I picked up my belongings and sprinted for shelter. I watched closely in despair from a nearby crowded supermarket as the spiralling tornado made its mark on the town.

My best friend Evie and I trudged up the Devil's Staircase on the Mt Tongariro walk for an whole hour. When we got to the top and finally rested our legs it felt like heaven. We stopped to admire what a beautiful and sunny day it was but then the weather changed dramatically. It started to bucket down and the temperature dropped enormously. I was well prepared and took out my thermals and raincoat. But Evie wasn’t as prepared and started to get hypothermia. There was no one anywhere at all. I was panicking. How can I help my friend?......

It was a cold freezing morning. I had at least three layers on. I decided to put another jacket on but then the weather changed dramatically, the sun came out, all the ice melted onto the beautiful green grass. I went inside to take off all the layers I had on to change into my togs. After I changed I went outside again and jumped into the pool but when I came up the sky was all cloudy and it started to rain, I went inside, looked back and the sky was clear.

One morning we woke up and it was surprisingly warm, as it progressed through the week it started getting hotter and hotter, I was very suspicious about it. I woke up the next morning and it was a little cold luckily not too bad, But then the weather changed dramatically it was 34.5C people were frying eggs on the bonnet of their cars, they even made cookie dough and put it outside for the sun to cook it. I saw letter box's melting and people were wearing oven mitts because their car steering wheels were scorching hot, I was flabbergasted.

Heat Wave

Hi, my name is Harry and at my school, we wear blazers, ties and socks all year round. In summer at school, it gets to the 30’s in Celsius. So you’re sitting in class boiling to your death but then you’re saved by the bell and are free to go outside. Some days get so hot like last Tuesday, I was sitting doing social studies but then the weather changed dramatically and the teacher had announced that there was a Heat Wave! Thank goodness we were allowed to take off our tie and blazer otherwise who knows what would’ve happened
