"Weather affects us all: Where we go, what we wear, how we gather, and sometimes even how we feel. Who could understand this better than Al Roker, who has spent decades guiding families through snow days, heat waves, and everything in between as "America's weatherman"? Now, he's translating that knowledge for a new demographic through his animated PBS Kids show Weather Hunters."
"Going all the way back to when I did local news and weather and would go to speak at schools, elementary school teachers and middle school teachers would all tell me, "Weather is what kids care about." It's one of the topics that they all seem to love, but when I started looking around, I realized there was really no television show that talked to kids about weather."
Weather Hunters introduces 5–8-year-olds to earth science by following Lily Hunter, an inquisitive young "weather detective," and her family as they investigate storms, seasons, and climate mysteries. A veteran meteorologist voices Lily's TV meteorologist dad and drew on decades of experience speaking at schools and a lifelong love of animation to shape the series. The show blends STEM content with encouragement to ask questions, stay curious, and stay active, framing curiosity and movement as vital life skills. The series has already achieved over 41 million video streams and includes a holiday special.
