The Weather Tree Poster
designed by artist Dorothy Thelwall in 1983
What is a Weather Tree?
The Weather Tree is a poster (85 x 64cm) depicting a tree with twelve branches to represent the twelve months of the year and with a leaf for every day of the year. Colours are chosen to represent different weather types and a leaf is coloured in each day with the appropriate colour(s). At the end of the year you will have a unique, lasting and individual record of the weather in your locality.
Who's it for?
The Weather Tree is a popular present for all ages from pre-school children to gardeners, environmentalists and artists.
​
It is easily coloured in using ink pens, water colours, pastels or even crayons.

Further "leaves" can be added to the key to give a more detailed breakdown of weather types. Details such as frost, wind, thunder etc. can be recorded by outlining the leaf in a particular colour and maximum and minimum temperatures can be written next to each leaf.
