Weather in spanish

In Spanish, we have a number of ways to describe the weather
The phrase we use to tell the weather is: "Hace (or Está) ___"
To ask the weather, say: "¿Qué tiempo hace hoy?"

These are the basic weather conditions:
(Hace) Frio-Cold
(Hace) Calor-Hot
(Hace) Sol-Sunny
(Hace) Viento-Windy
(Hace) Fresco-Mild
To intensify any of these conditions except "fresco", use the word "bastante"
Example: Hace bastante frio, Hace bastante sol

(Está) (Parcialmente/Mayormente) Nublado-Partially/Mostly Cloudy
(Está) Húmedo-Humid
(Está) Lloviendo-Raining
(Está) Nevando-Snowing
Note: Llueve (mucho)=it rains (a lot)
Nieva (mucho)=it snows (a lot)

Hace and está both mean "it is" but remember to use the correct one to describe the weather.

Other terms that may be useful to know are:
Mayormente/ Parcialmente soleado- Mostly/Partially sunny
Mayormente/Parcialmente despejado-Mostly/Partially clear
La temperatura máxima/minima es...-The maximum/minimum temperature is...
Ahorita estamos a (#) grados.-Right now it's (#) degrees.(Take note that in Spanish, we only use Celsius)
Chubascos (aislados)-(Scattered) showers
Tormenta (tropical)-(Tropical) storms

These weather conditions can be supplemented by naming the season. They are:
El invierno-Winter
La primavera-Spring
El verano- Summer
El otoño-Fall

A conversation about the weather will sound like this:
"¿Qué tiempo hace hoy?"
"Hace fresco."
"¿Sí, y qué tiempo hace en el invierno?"
"Hace bastante frio."

To add another level to this skill, you could incorporate the days of the week which are:

Monday-lunes
Tuesday-martes
Wednesday-miércoles
Thursday-jueves
Friday-viernes
Saturday-sábado
Sunday-domingo

Note the following:
The days are in lowercase.
The week starts on Monday, not Sunday.
Miércoles and Sábado have accents.

You could use this skill to explain to a Spanish baseball team what the weather for the week will be.
