Sean Batty is always keen to share his passion for all things weather related, and a recent visit to Govan school gave him the chance to pass on his knowledge and wisdom.
The popular weatherman was filming for his new TV show, Weatherwatch with Sean Batty, and he showed the pupils how they can get involved in measuring the weather with a few simple instruments.
A rain gauge for measuring rain fall can be made from a plastic bottle, and after making their very own gauges, the pupils buried it in the school garden to stop the rain blowing it over.
Sean also showed the pupils how to create a barometer to measure air pressure using a jam jar and a balloon.
They also made an anemometer for measuring wind speed using some plastic cups.
You can find out more about the weather in Monday night’s Weatherwatch with Sean Batty, where Sean also finds the Northern lights and has a go at ice climbing.
Not only that, fans can put their questions to Sean as he takes part in live web chats at the end of each episode. If you have a questtion for him about the programmes you can contact him on Twitter @SeanBattySTV, on the Weatherwatch e-mail,weatherwatch@stv.tv or via the STV Live App. which works on most mobile devices as well as on your computer.
