How do you say “weather” in English
In English, the word “weather” is the most common word to use when talking about the
atmospheric conditions outside our windows. It’s pronounced <weh-thr> in American
English and <weh-thuh> in British English, and it only exists in the singular. If you’re
curious why it’s simply because “weather” is an uncountable noun.

There are also other words that can be easily confused with the word “weather,” such as
“climate” or “temperature.” Let’s briefly explain the differences between them:

 The word “weather” is used to describe the state of the atmosphere in terms of
wind, temperature, humidity, and more. For example: “The weather outside is
nice.”
 The word “climate” is used to describe the general weather of a specific region.
For example: “The UK has a temperate climate.”
 The word “temperature” is used to describe how hot or cold the weather is, and
it’s measured in degrees (Celsius or Fahrenheit, depending on the country). For
example: “The temperature is 30 degrees Celsius.”

Talking about the weather in English

The weather is an easy topic to talk about with pretty much anyone. Here are a few key
weather expressions you need to know to have a fluent conversation with weather words
and phrases in English.

 What’s the weather like today?

 What’s the weather like in your country?
 How’s the weather?
 What’s the temperature today?
 What’s the weather forecast?
 Such beautiful weather today, isn’t it?
 Are you a hot weather person or a cold weather person?
 It’s hot/cold outside.
 It’s cloudy outside. It might rain soon!
 It’s raining cats and dogs!
 A storm is coming.
 It’s sunny outside but with a cool breeze.
 It’s looking like it’ll be as cold as 5 degrees this morning.
 The sun is shining outside.
 The weather’s nice today.
 Can you believe how cold it is outside?! It’s freezing!

You might also find it helpful to combine your weather expression terminology with
such phrases as:

 It’s going to be hot this Sunday, should we go to the beach?

 November this year has been warmer than usual.

English and the seasons and months of the year in English.

Você pode usar três estruturas de frases para falar sobre o tempo no tempo presente:
  É + adjetivo: é nevado. É chuvoso.
 É + verbo: está nevando. Está a chover.
 Há um + substantivo: Há uma tempestade. Há uma seca.

Para falar sobre o tempo no tempo passado, você usará as mesmas estruturas de frases,
mas colocará o verbo “ser” no passado (exceto para o presente perfeito), por exemplo:

 It was rainy yesterday. / Ontem foi chuvoso.

 It was raining yesterday. / Estava chovendo ontem.
 There was a storm yesterday. / Ontem houve uma tempestade.

The best way to learn the days of the week is to practice using them in real-life

picked up after school.
 Send a message to a friend telling them when you need to be dropped at the
airport next week.
 Organize for someone to be home to sign for an Amazon delivery that is arriving
next week.
 Plan a playdate for your child with the neighbor’s children.
