In the first picture, there are several people on a beach. They are wearing summer clothes, such as T-shirts and shorts, and the weather looks hot and sunny. They seem relaxed and happy, and some of them are playing or walking near the sea.
In the second picture, there are six people who look as though they are on a skiing holiday in the mountains somewhere. They are all wearing warm clothes such as ski suits, hats and gloves, and you can see the snow, so it must be cold. I think they probably feel excited because they are skiing.

Tomorrow the weather will be changeable. In the morning, there will be some sunshine, but later on it will become cloudy. By midday, there may be light showers in some areas. The temperature will be around 12°C, so it will feel cool. In the evening, the rain will become heavier, and strong winds are expected. People should take umbrellas and warm clothes if they go out.
