🔹 Section 1: "What's the weather like?"

We are given icons of different weather conditions, and we need to match them with the correct adjectives from the word bank:

Word Bank:
(partly) cloudy · foggy · hailing · overcast · rainy · snowy · stormy · sunny · wet/humid · windy

Let’s match each icon:

1. ☀️ Sun → sunny
2. ☁️ Clouds → (partly) cloudy or overcast? Since it's just clouds without sun, likely overcast
3. ☀️ behind cloud → (partly) cloudy
4. 🌪️ Wind symbol → windy
5. ☁️ with raindrops → rainy
6. ☁️ with rain and hail → hailing
7. ☁️ with lightning → stormy
8. ☁️ with snowflakes → snowy
9. ☁️ with sun peeking + mist → foggy
10. 💧 Water droplet with % → wet/humid

✔ So the answers for this section are:

- It's sunny
- It's overcast
- It's (partly) cloudy
- It's windy
- It's rainy
- It's hailing
- It's stormy
- It's snowy
- It's foggy
- It's wet/humid

> Note: The order might vary depending on how the images are arranged, but based on standard interpretations:

Let’s list them in the image order:

1. Sunny
2. Overcast
3. (Partly) cloudy
4. Windy
5. Rainy
6. Hailing
7. Stormy
8. Snowy

✔️ Fill in accordingly.
