    I would suggest a spell that could turn any weather into sunshine. Say you have an important event coming up like a outdoor birthday party or a wedding and the weather is raining or even snowing. Well with this spell you would be able to change it to warm sunny weather. Name: Sunny Day Incantations : Sol Torem

    Graphic: https://postimg.cc/jLFtzx7M I suggest the Tornado spell, whose incantation is "Ventus cuniculum." It is a spell that instantly creates a tornado at the tip of the caster's wand. It starts smaller, though if you continue to focus on building up the spell, you can make it more significant with time. It may be useful to create a distraction or force items to be swept up by its wind, It can be cast by moving your wand downward, then gradually moving it up and diagonally in looping movements where the circles overlap.

    Sky Clearing Charm Imgur Link - Larger Version [1920 x 1920 px] Incantation: Caelum Clarum (Pronunciation: KAAY-lum-CLAA-RUM) Wand Movement: Triple, inward, clockwise spiral then a strong upward jab towards the sky. Purpose: On a rainy or cloudy day, this charm clears a portion of the sky above the caster’s head for a short period of time, and as the person walks ahead, the portion of the sky left behind them goes back to being as it was, and the portion currently above the witch/wizard’s head clears up. This spell requires a huge amount of concentration and willpower to hold, and most witches/wizards won’t be able to hold the spell for any longer than 20 minutes at a time without taking a break.

    Don't you wish that sometimes, you could control the weather? There's one spell that we know of, but not much else really. We can see that the research into this part of magic is actually quite limited. Suggest to the Ministry of Magic some sort of magical method (either a spell, potion or a magical item) that witches and wizards can use to get some semblance of control over the weather. Tell us about the weather-controlling magical measure in 100 words or more. Alternatively, you can create a graphic of it and explain it in at least 35 words. If you take the graphics option, please keep your image to 600x600 pixels and upload it to an image hosting website, then share the link. Post your submission below by 23:59 HOL-time on the 30th of April to earn 10 rubies!

    A lot of people like intense, yet somewhat harmless weather conditions. Some like to watch or listen to thunderstorms, go north into the cold to watch northern lights, mountaineer in snow conditions or just like to stand in the rain. Solve the tents and trees puzzle below to see where people put up tents to observe mother nature in all her glory. Find all of the tents. Every tent is attached to exactly one tree, and every tree is attached to exactly one tent. The number of tents is the same as the number of trees. The clues tell you how many tents are in that row or column. A tent can only be found horizontally or vertically next to a tree. Tents are never next to each other, neither vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. A tree might be next to two tents but is only connected to one. Send your solution to me and one other organizer through private message (Subject: April Showers Task 11) by 11:59 pm HOL-time on 30th April to earn 10 rubies.

    Meteorologist: good evening folks, this is Riley Colett from wizarding wireless network. Here to bring you tomorrow's forecast. And it's not good news folks. For tomorrow quidditch match we can expect, dark skies, heavy rain and a bit of a breeze. It's going to be a wet one folk, make sure to keep yourself dry using the impervius charm. Good news is that temperatures should reach around 18 degrees. So wet but warm. More good news is the rain and wind should clear around late afternoon, to leave clear skies. Which is good news for all the people planing any celebration parties. And also for the shooting stars coming our way. Temperatures should go down to about 12 degrees so a mild night ahead of us. That's all folks, enjoy the rest of the evening.

    Hello! I'm Ivy Grey! When Harry, Ron and Hermione get stuck in Devil's Snare, Hermione's dialogue is my number one favourite! "Devil's Snare, Devil's Snare... what did Professor Sprout say? -- it likes the dark and the damp---" "So light a fire!" Harry choked. "Yes -- of course -- but there's no wood!" Hermione cried, wringing her hands. "HAVE YOU GONE MAD?" Ron bellowed. "ARE YOU A WITCH OR NOT?" Said by Professor Albus Dumbledore, this line is a also a top favourite: "Second- to Miss Hermione Granger... for the use of cool logic in the face of fire, I award Gryffindor house fifty points."

    Meteorologist: Good afternoon, wizards and witches! We'll look at the weather forecast for the next three days. On Tuesday, there is a chance of rain totaling an inch and a half. The great news, however, is that we have gotten word that the Quidditch matchup between rivals Lancashire and Cork will continue as scheduled, rain or shine! On Wednesday, expect cloudy conditions, with parts of London being particularly foggy from noon to 8 PM due to the use of the fogging spell Nebulus to help conceal the important meeting discussed earlier on the Wizarding Wireless Network. Finally, on Thursday, you can expect clear skies, likely giving you a nice view of the shooting stars set to happen that night! This has been your three-day weather forecast. Have a good rest of your day!

    Reporter: Good evening, and welcome everyone, I'm James Roycewell and this is the Wizarding Wireless Network: Weather Prophecy. Now, let's have a look at what we can expect across the British Isles for tomorrow. We're in for a curious mix of conditions, folks. Areas in the north of Scotland should expect some lingering blizzards, with possible downpours later in the evening. Keep an umbrella and some Frostbite Wax handy if you're up that way. For our central regions, it appears a heavy rain and potentially a storm are brewing. These warm rain showers are said to possess restorative properties, so don't shy away from stepping outside and letting the healing showers make you feel better. So for those living up north or in the central regions, I suggest you plan your Quidditch matches, Broom racing competitions and open-roof parties accordingly. Meanwhile, down south in places like Cornwall and Devon, we're expecting a gloriously sunny day with a small possibility of drizzle. Just a heads-up for those attending important meetings or Ministry hearings! That's all for tonight, folks. For more detailed forecasts and localized weather warnings, stay tuned to the Wizarding Wireless Network. And remember, if you're ever caught in a particularly nasty downpour with no way of finding shelter, a simple Cheering Charm followed by Vermillious, can often do the trick!

    I’ve always wondered what weather reports are like in the wizarding world… Are their safety advisories about broom flying, updates on conditions for stargazing or tips for gathering certain potion ingredients during ideal conditions? Let’s find out! For this task, you have 2 options: A. Create a transcript of a weather report from the Wizarding Wireless Network. It should be at least 100 words for full credit. B. Create a magical weather map. Remember to lean into the wizarding world angle with the symbols and labels you choose. Please keep your image to 600x600 pixels and upload it to an image hosting website, then share the link. Post your response below by 23:59 HOL-time on the 30th of April to earn 10 rubies!

    Did you know that lightning is one of the oldest observed natural phenomena on earth? Until the late 18th century, it was believed that ringing church bells repelled lightning so many church bells bore the inscription fulgura frango, meaning 'I chase lightning'. A bolt of lightning struck the words below and scattered the letters to the wind! Help put it all together to reveal the hidden message. Click here for a bigger picture.

    The weather I would choose to see would be the same enchantments the Great Hall has. I really think it would be amazing to see what the weather really is like.That could also make me decide if I wanted to spend time outside or not once I was done of work and of course that would also mean I would see what I would be missing while hard at work in the Ministry. If it was a nice sunny day, not too sunny and hot, but just nice then I wouldn't want to be inside. In that case, my next choice would be snowing. Seeing it snowing, especially if it looks cold, it would make me glad to be underground and not outside.
