Let’s go step by step to answer each question using the weather report table.
---
1. Which day was the hottest?
We look at the “High” temperature for each day:
- Monday: 90°
- Tuesday: 83°
- Wednesday: 89°
- Thursday: 84°
- Friday: 87°
The highest number is
90°, which happened on
Monday.
✔ So, the hottest day was
Monday.
---
2. Which night was the coolest?
“Night” means we look at the “Low” temperature (the lower number in the High/Low pair).
Lows:
- Monday: 72°
- Tuesday: 73°
- Wednesday: 68° ← lowest so far
- Thursday: 76°
- Friday: 73°
The lowest low is
68°, which happened on
Wednesday.
✔ So, the coolest night was
Wednesday.

3. On how many days was it stormy?
Look at the “Conditions” column:
- Monday: Sunny → not stormy
- Tuesday: Stormy
✔
- Wednesday: Stormy
✔
- Thursday: Partly Cloudy → not stormy
- Friday: Sunny → not stormy
That’s
2 days: Tuesday and Wednesday.
✔ Answer:
2 days

4. How many degrees did the high temperature fall from Monday to Wednesday?
Monday high = 90°
Wednesday high = 89°
Fall = 90 - 89 =
1 degree
✔ Answer:
1 degree
*(Note: It didn’t fall much — just 1 degree!)*

5. Compare the weather on Tuesday and Friday. Which day would be better for an outdoor soccer game? Why?
Tuesday: High 83°, Low 73°, Conditions:
Stormy
Friday: High 87°, Low 73°, Conditions:
Sunny
Even though Friday is a bit warmer, the big difference is the condition:
→ Tuesday is
stormy — that means rain or thunderstorms, which are bad for playing outside.
→ Friday is
sunny — perfect for soccer!
✔ Better day:
Friday, because it’s sunny and dry, while Tuesday is stormy.

6. What do you think the weather might be like on Saturday? Why?
This one asks for your opinion based on patterns.
Looking at the week:
- Monday: Sunny
- Tuesday: Stormy
- Wednesday: Stormy
- Thursday: Partly Cloudy
- Friday: Sunny
It seems like after two stormy days, it cleared up. Friday was sunny again. Maybe the pattern is returning to nice weather?
Also, Friday ended with sunny skies — often that continues into the next day unless a new system moves in.
So, a reasonable guess:
✔ Saturday might be sunny or partly cloudy, because the storms passed and Friday was already clear.
*(There’s no right or wrong here — as long as you give a good reason based on the data!)*

Final Answer:
- Hottest day: Monday
- Coolest night: Wednesday
- Number of stormy days: 2
- Temperature drop from Monday to Wednesday: 1 degree
- Better day for soccer: Friday (because it’s sunny, not stormy)
- Prediction for Saturday: Likely sunny or partly cloudy, since Friday was sunny and storms have passed
