Vocabulary: the weather

Alas, it has also become one of the main concerns of many inhabitants in various areas...

Throughout the year, farmers and wine-growers worry about the weather destroying their

crops, rural dwellers as well as shoreline residents and even city-dwellers watch brooks

and rivers as well as tides...

That's why I thought it necessary not to ignore this aspect of our daily life...

               A barometer                                                      A weathercock

- the barometer is set at fair/ is pointing to rain

- good weather/ the weather's fine/ it's a nice day

            An overcast sky

- It looks like rain/ snow!

  Unsettled weather

                     Sleet                                Gusts of wind cause umbrellas to overturn

 - There was hardly a breath of wind! 

-  There's a wind blowing

-  A high wind/ a strong wind/ the prevailing wind

   Flashes of lightning 

- It's blowing a gale! 

- A strong gust of wind

- There were flashes of lightning/ The lightning flashed

- Lightning has struck

   A blanket of snow                       White frost

- There will be a hard frost

- It will be a frosty morning! 

- a sheet of black ice

 Black ice
