Better pictures (clearer, colourful)

• Validity: Task asks about "weather vocabulary", not the "simple past"
• -> already give the weather conditions (vocabulary), so student can form a sentence in the wanted tense

I would also suggest using different pictures and adding a task that specifically asks for the weather.
