include the following information:

- Temperature C (celcius degrees), present maximum and minimum and temperature word
(hot, warm, cool, cold, freezing, etc).

- Weather conditions (sun, rain, snow, wind, fog) and obviously the type of weather (sunny,
cloudy, rainy, windy, foggy, etc.

Example

Weather reporter: Welcome to the weather forecast. Now, let’s see what the weather is
like today. In the north of the country it’s very windy and cold. There is a chance of some
rain too, so don’t leave home without your umbrella! The temperature is around 10º
centigrade. In the east it’s rainy all day today, I’m afraid. There may be a thunderstorm in
the afternoon. The temperature is a bit higher, at around 13º. In the west and middle of
the country the weather is dry, but cloudy. So, no rain for you, but it is quite windy and the
temperature is just 10º. The south of the country has the best weather today. It’s cloudy
most of the time but sunny this afternoon. The temperature is around 15º.
