Weather Wisdom for Kids: Al Roker's Fun Climate Change Lesson

Al Roker has a new show called "Weather Hunters." It's not just any kids' show. It's a mix of weather, family, and fun.

Meet Al Hunter

Roker plays a character named Al Hunter, a TV weather guy. He's bald, and the show's creators joke that it wasn't on purpose.

Educational and Entertaining

The show features a teacher named Sara Sweetman, who ensures the content is educational and engaging for kids. Roker shared that the show has been a long time coming, combining his love for weather, animation, and family.

Inspired by His Kids

Roker's children, Nick and Leila, inspired the show's main characters. They were 5 and 8 when he first thought of the show. Now, they're all grown up. Roker wants kids to learn about weather, be curious, solve problems, and love science.

A Collaborative Effort

Making the show was a big deal. PBS Kids worked with Roker to ensure everything was perfect for kids. Weather can be scary, so the show explains it in a fun way, helping kids understand and be prepared.

Family-Centric Message

Family is a big part of the show. The characters say, "Whatever the weather, we're in it together." Roker loves this message, believing weather connects us all. He wants kids to be ready for changing weather, be smart, and think for themselves.

Where to Watch

The show is on PBS Kids, aimed at kids 5 to 8. You can watch it in the morning or online. Each episode is available in English and Spanish, making it a fun way to learn about weather and family.
