Weather can sometimes be difficult for youth to understand. This is now made a little easier with a new website from the University of Illinois.

The new Tree House Weather Kids website helps young people understand things like why the weather changes, how we predict the weather, and how weather can cause distruction (hurricanes, tornadoes, etc).

The website is geared towards youth in 5th-8th grades.
