At Better Tuition, Urmston, we have been trying to read this weather forecast but each sentence has been shuffled. What’s more, an extra word has been added to each sentence! Can you unshuffle the sentences and identify the extra word?

EXAMPLE

weather

heat

tomorrow

The shuffled sentence can be rearranged to make the sentence “The weather will be warm tomorrow.”

The extra word is ‘heat’.
