Cute Climate Cartoons

The 'Weather sKwirl' Adorably Squeals the Forecast Every Day

— September 23, 2011 — Lifestyle
Keeping up to date with the weather forecast is not always the most entertaining activity of the day; however, the 'Weather sKwirl' is here to warm up your day. This cute blog, created in 2010 by kHyal and her husband Karl Heine, is about a pink animated squirrel and her friends who notify the weather every day.

The whole idea is actually very funny, perfect for animal lovers -- especially squirrels lovers -- who enjoy simple but adorable humor. From sunny days to hurricanes, sKwirl warns people about what they need, in terms of clothing and weather accessories, to be prepared for the day. I promise it won’t let you down. This little creature is always ready to confront, along with its peculiar friends, the harshest climatic conditions.

In addition to forecasting the weather, the Weather sKwirl also have fun posts on sKwirl’s different adventures and news about art and the environment.

My favorite weather predicts from sKwirl is “Sunny with scattered polka dots + random corn.”
