(Finally it’s warm: I couldn’t stand the cold weather anymore!) 2) È + adjective (specific for weather) Oggi è piovoso! (Today it’s rainy!) 3) C’È / CI SONO + noun C’è la pioggia!

Sometimes it’s also nevoso (snowy), there’s la neve (snow), that is white soft grains falling down from the sky. In the mountains, not only nevica (it snows), but there is often una bufera di neve or tormenta (blizzard). But winter is above all piovoso (rainy), there’s la pioggia (rain). If piove (it rains) very hard, we’ll say there’s un acquazzone (downpour). Some days there’s a terrible rain, there are lampi and tuoni (lightnings and thunders), in these cases we’ll say that weather is burrascoso or tempestoso (stormy), and that, therefore, there’s un temporale (or una burrasca and una tempesta – a storm). When the storm ends, there’s l’arcobaleno (rainbow)! If ice cubes fall from the sky, there’s la grandine (hail), cioè grandina (it hails). In winter, there’s usually a lot of vento (wind), it’s ventoso (windy). There are no uragani (hurricanes) in Italy, that is those storms with very strong wind and rain that often affect the USA. In Italy, instead, there are trombe d’aria (whirlwind), that is very strong wind in whirls. EXPRESSIONS for Winter: Fa un freddo cane! / Si muore di freddo!– It’s cold as hell! Ho la pelle d’oca! – I’m getting goose bumps! Piove a catinelle / a dirotto! – It’s pouring rain! / It’s raining cats and dogs! SPRING In Spring, weather is generally sereno or limpido (clear), the sky is blue. Clearly, it can also be soleggiato (sunny): there’s il sole (sun) or the sun splende (shines)! If the temperature is neither high nor low, then it’s mite (mild)! When it didn’t rain and air isn’t heavy, we’ll say that it’s secco (dry). But the best Spring day is that in which there’s a light and gentle brezza (breeze)! EXPRESSION for Spring: C’è un sole che spacca le pietre! – The sunshine is hot enough to fry eggs! SUMMER In Summer it’s often umido (wet)… there’s l’umidità (humidity)! When it’s really warm, we generally say it’s torrido or afoso (sweltering), there’s a terrible afa (mugginess)! Fortunately, however, in Summer it’s also possible prendere il sole (to sunbathe) and therefore abbronzarsi (to suntan) and hopefully not ustionarsi (to get burned)… EXPRESSIONS for Summer: Prendere la tintarella – to get a tan Prendere un’insolazione – to get a sunstroke AUTUMN Autumn is generally nebbioso (foggy), there’s la nebbia (fog). The wind blows hard and it’s often nuvoloso (cloudy), there are le nuvole (clouds). There is not heavy rain, but pioviggina (it’s drizzling), that is there’s una pioggia leggera (a light rain). EXPRESSION for Autumn: Cielo a pecorelle – mackerel sky According to the saying: Cielo a pecorelle, pioggia a catinelle! – so if you see mackerel sky, take the umbrella! What’s the weather like where you are?
