Matt Johnstone Geo: Predicting the Weather - Abel from Hamburg, Germany

1. You have an exchange student coming to visit for the next 3 months from a country in the northern hemisphere.
2. You need to explain to them what the weather is going to be like. Compare the average temperatures between the countries for the next 3 months and the average precipitation. Find an image of a average temp and precipitation graph for your two locations.
3. You are also going to take him to Thredbo in May. Explain to him what it will be like in Thredbo and what clothing he'll need.
4. Make sure you explain the type of clothing your exchange will need and how it is the same/different from what he would normally wear at home.

Abel, these are the average temperatures and rainfall conditions in Sydney. As you can see, you may need to bring your raincoat as there may be some rainfall. You will need a jumper and some warm clothes as the temperature will be quite low. The temperature will be around the same here in Sydney as what it is like in your country, and guess what we will have around the same rainfall conditions as you. In May we will be going to Thredbo. The weather can change quickly in the mountains so make sure you pack for all kinds of weather conditions. What you will need to bring is some big warm clothes so you are ready for the cold conditions and some light clothes for the hot conditions. You will need to bring gloves, warm socks, big skiing pants and a jacket. You may need thermals and some long sleeve shirts. See you soon Abel!
