    Describe the weather

    Vocabulario: El clima

    Weather expressions in Spanish are different from those in English, particularly in the way they are constructed.

    A: Play Audio¿Qué tiempo hace hoy? (What is the weather like today?)
    B: Hoy hace frío y hace viento. (Today it is cold and windy.)

    Most weather expressions in Spanish are built with hace, such as:

    it is (very) hot
    Hace mucho calor.
    it is cool
    Hace fresco.
    it is cold
    Hace frío.
    it is sunny
    Hace sol.
    Hace buen tiempo.
    Hace mal tiempo.
    it is windy
    Hace viento.

    There are some weather expressions that are different and are not built with hace, such as:

    there is fog
    Hay niebla
    Nieva / está nevando.
    it is clear
    Está despejado.
    it is cloudy
    Está nublado.
    it is humid
    Está húmedo.
    it is sunny
    Está soleado.
    there's lightning
    Hay relámpagos.
    it is thundering
    Truena.
    it is drizzling
    Llovizna.
    Llueve mucho / está lloviendo.
