Talking about the weather and the seasons in Spanish

1. First, let´s see if you know the seasons in Spanish:

How do we say “spring”?
How do we say “summer”?
How do we say “autumm”?
How do we say “winter”?

2. Now from Spanish to English:

What is “verano”?
What is “invierno”?
What is “primavera”?
What is “otoño”?

3. Let´s see if you understand these sentences in Spanish about the weather in different cities of Spain:

En Madrid hace mucho frío en invierno y hace mucho calor en verano.
En Alicante hace viento en este momento.
En Bilbao llueve mucho en otoño y en invierno.
En Barcelona hace buen tiempo.

4. Now I would like you to translate these sentences from English to Spanish:

In London the weather is bad in the winter.
In Paris it´s chilly today.
In New York it snows in the winter.
Here it rains in autumm

5. Now we will see if you remember these Spanish phrases related to the weather:

¡Qué frío hace!
Hace muchísimo calor
¿Tienes calor?
¿Qué tiempo hace allí?
Hace un día bastante bueno
No hace nada de frío

6. Finally, try to say the following things in Spanish:

It’s a horrible day
It´s always very hot here at this time of the year
I am so cold!
It is a very bad day
We are at five degrees below zero

This is all for today.

Talking about the weather is very handy when you are trying to make conversation. Everybody talks about the weather in every country so I recommend you practice this lesson a few times and use these sentences whenever you meet a Spanish speaker. It is a good way to start a conversation.
