Weather around the UK
Warning this task must be completed in UK daylight!
Your Task: To produce an electronic or paper version of a map showing the
weather in six parts of the United Kingdom through the medium of Web cams.
You will need;
 A computer linked to the web;
 An electronic version or paper version of an outline map of the United
Kingdom. Please see me or visit www.geoexplorer.co.uk and click on
‘outline maps’ in the left menu.
 Paper and scissors if necessary.
Preparing your work.
1. If necessary copy and paste an electronic version of a UK map outline
into a word document. Alternatively you can print your images and cut
and paste them onto this outline.
2. Go to the Website www.ukwebcameras.co.uk . Click on the map of the
UK.
3. You now need to find five outside web cams showing the weather in
five locations of the country. Choose one for Wales, Scotland, The
South West of England, London, Midlands, and the North of England.
4. To find your web cams just click over the interactive map.
5. Once you have found your images, either print them out or copy and
paste them into your word document. For each image draw a line to
where your image is from in the UK. Under the image write the name of
the area and a brief description of the weather. For example, is it sunny
with a clear sky, is it overcast, is it raining, there is snow on the ground!
6. Finally give you piece the title ‘Weather around the UK’. Print your work
out if you have completed it by computer. If you can print your version
in colour this would make it more stunning!

This is a picture of the
Cairngorms. As you
can see it is rainy and
misty! You can’t see
much.
This is London. At the
moment the sky is
greying due to night.
There looks to be no
rain!
