The light we see is called 'the visible spectrum'.

Our atmosphere scatters blue light, and the sky looks blue as a result of this.

Coventry's three weather towers were completed in October last year.

Lights on the towers change colour, depending on the weather conditions.

For example, the city centre-based tower lights go yellow in sunshine and red when it's icy.

With a lot of luck we'll be seeing a yellow glow coming from the city centre this spring!

Weather galleries

Artists over the centuries have concerned themselves with the depiction of the weather.

You could have a go too, you never know, you might be the next Turner!

Each month, a different school in Coventry and Warwickshire can take the spotlight with their very own weather gallery.

You can see some of the colourful weather galleries by following the links on the left.

If you are a photographer, we are also interested in exhibiting weather photographs of the area.

If you would like to feature in the weather gallery then email or send your artwork in the post and we'll create a gallery for you.

We will return your artwork to you and also submit entries into BBC Midlands Today's weekly weather picture competition.

Why not suggest it to your teacher or tutor as a project? We look forward to hearing from you.
