Weather words: describe what you observe
Weather vocabulary can describe a condition, a change or a forecast. Keep the language claim separate from a real prediction.
Use the pattern in context
Compare a noun and an adjective: rain and rainy, wind and windy, cloud and cloudy. A current activity can use a verb: It is raining. A general description can use be plus an adjective: It is windy today. Add a time and place when comparing conditions. The picture deck supplies labels as study cues; a sun icon alone cannot establish an exact temperature.
Examples to compare
- Activity: It is raining now.
- Description: It is cloudy today.
- Change: The wind is getting stronger.
Limits and useful distinctions
This page does not provide a live forecast or advice about weather hazards. Hot, warm and cool depend on context and comparison. If a real plan depends on conditions, use a current forecast for the relevant place and time rather than an example sentence or simplified picture.
