Weather Conditions, seasons. By Willie Willson and Matthew Hamilton

    Describing weather conditions is a important part of your spanish education.  When describing weather patterns it is good to remember two things.  You can either say,"Hace....."(A-ce) which you would use when saying,"It is hot.", or,"Esta......"(esta) which you would use when saying,"It is raining."

    These are the words that you would use after saying hace:

1) Frio(f-rio) cold

2) Calor(cal-or) hot

3) Sol(s-ol) warm

4) Viento (v-i-e-ntio) windy

5) Fresco(fres-co) cool

   When using esta you would say:

1) lloviendo(y-ov-i-e-ndo) raining

2) nevando(ne-va-n-do) snowing

3) nublado(nu-bla-do) cloudy

   When asking for the weather you can ask,"Que tiempo hace hoy."(k te-ie-mpo a-ce oy) which means how is the weather today.  If you replace hoy with mañana(m-a-ny-a-na) you are asking for the weather tomorrow.

    When asking for the temparture you say,"¿Cual es la temparatura?"(cual es la temp-ar-a-tur-a).  Responding to this you say,"Es el ____grados."(es el ____gr-ad-os).

    Say your asking your mom what the weather is like so you know how to dress.  You ask her,"¿Que tiempo hace hoy?".  She responds by saying," Hace muy calor."
