ENSEÑANZA EXPLICITA
There are so many adjectives you can use for describing the weather. Some of them are
very similar in meaning (i.e., hot and warm) and a little harder to distinguish, while others
are completely different (i.e., rainy and sunny) and easier to remember.

Vocabulary Words You’ll Need to Talk About the Weather

Hot / Warm
When we say it’s hot, we’re referring to very high temperatures, like you find in the
middle of summer when the heat can get quite uncomfortable. When it’s warm though,
temperatures are fairly high but bearable.
When the weather is warm, I prefer light clothing like t-shirts.
Today is so hot that I’ve been sitting under the fan all day.
Cold / Cool
Cold refers to very low temperatures, close to freezing—the type of weather that requires a
heavy coat to go outside. With cool, however, we’re talking about fairly low, spring-like
temperatures when you may only need to wear a sweater out.
On cool days like today, you should be fine with a light jacket.
Don’t forget your coat; it’s cold outside.
Sunny / Rainy
Sunny weather means there’s lots of sunshine. Its opposite is rainy weather, which means
lots of rain.
On sunny days, I like to take the kids to the beach.
Rainy days are the best time to stay home and read a book.
Clear / Cloudy

ENSEÑANZA EXPLICITA
A clear day is bright with no signs of bad weather. A cloudy day, however, means the
skies are filled with clouds with little or no sun.
Isn’t it great that we’re having such clear days this week?
It looks cloudy; you should bring an umbrella in case it rains.
Dry / Humid
When it’s dry, there’s no rain or moisture in the air. But when it’s humid, the air is moist
and contains a large amount of water vapor. Humid weather usually makes us perspire
(sweat) more.
Bush fires are common around here when the weather is dry.
The weather’s been so humid lately it’s impossible to go outside without breaking a sweat.
Foggy / Misty
These two adjectives refer to hazy conditions caused by small droplets of water in the air
that make it difficult to see. Fog (noun) forms closer to the ground and is thicker and more
difficult to see through. Mist (noun) usually forms on hills and mountains and isn’t as
thick. Be sure to turn on your headlights when driving through foggy areas. It’s misty up
in the mountains in the mornings.
Gusty / Windy
These adjectives describe the wind. Gusty suggests a sudden brief burst of wind
while windy refers to a stronger than usual wind blowing.
It’s been gusty all afternoon and my umbrella was blown away.
As we were walking along the beach, it started to get windy.
Thunder / Lightning
These two nouns are often used together when referring to storms. Thunder is the loud
booming sound which usually follows a flash of lightning in the sky.
Whenever there’s thunder and lightning, my dog rushes into the house in fear.
