Weather is the state of the atmosphere, and it refers to the day-to-day temperature and precipitation activity. The difference between air pressure, temperature, and moisture influence weather-related phenomena. Other topics covered include evaporation, relative humidity, clouds, precipitation, rain gauge, air mass, front, thunderstorm, hurricane, tornado, weather forecast, meteorologist, and satellite imagery.
Moko is an explorer. As he travels the world continent by continent, he makes many friends and discovers many natural phenomena which sometimes delight him, and other times scare him. Each animated episode recounts an adventure and takes an "original story" approach to explaining these natural phenomena. In this episode, Mei-Lei takes Moko to the rice fields. The sky is blue and Moko thinks that in this country there just aren't any clouds. Mei-Lei tells him to wait until nightfall, that the rains will dance over the village. Moko doesn't believe her, there isn't a cloud in sight! Suddenly, the sky darkens and Mei-Lei wants to return to the village, but Moko wants to know more. He climbs the hill behind the village to get a better look at the sky. The wind picks up and a great wave of rain washes everything in its wake. Moko and Mei-Lei take shelter from the monsoon behind a rock. To make the rain stop Mei-Lei starts to sing and dance. Bit by bit the rain subsides and the two friends decide to return to the village. Moko thinks that Mei-Lei's dancing was magical and had the power to stop the rain.

Each animated episode recounts an adventure and takes an "original story" approach to explaining these natural phenomena. In this episode, Moko wonders why all the clouds come and cry over his village at the same time. What makes them so sad? He questions the wise old man of the village, who suggests that he wait till the end of the rainy season for the answer. Once the rains are over, Moko goes back to see the old man. The old man tells him that the answer lies in the fields and the crops. Moko sees that the rain has allowed so many things to grow, and that the village has all the food it needs. So he realizes that the clouds are not sad when it rains, but rather that they give all their water to fertilize the soil.

Each animated episode recounts an adventure and takes an "original story" approach to explaining these natural phenomena. In this episode, the rain has just fallen and the sun is returning. A beautiful rainbow fills the horizon. Moko would like to take a few colors and bring them back to his village to offer them to a friend. He walks toward the rainbow, but the closer he gets, the more the colors disappear. Disappointed, he heads back home... and the rainbow reappears in the distance. He asks the village wise man how he could take a few colors from the rainbow and make a gift of them to a friend. The wise man tells him it would be better to ask his friend to come look at the beauty of the colors with him. After all, Moko tells himself, the rainbow is too big and doesn't want us to take its colors away. It comes to make the sky more beautiful. It just wants to be admired.
