What's the weather like ?

Hi there! Today I would like to show you how we talk about the weather in Spanish.

The question would be: ¿Qué tiempo hace?

Note that we use the noun "tiempo" both for "time" and for "weather" in Spanish.

Then, we may reply one of the following expressions, depending on how the weather is like:

Hace sol - It is sunny (literally "it does Sun")
Está nublado - It is cloudy (literally "it is cloudy")
Llueve - It rains (literally the same)
Nieva - It snows (literally the same)
Hay tormenta - It is stormy (literally "there is storm")

Besides that, you may want to talk about the feeling of warmth:

Hace calor - It is hot (literally "it does hot")
Hace frío - It is cold (literally "it does cold")
Se está bien - It is fresh and nice (literally something like "it is felt as good")
Ni frío ni calor - Nor cold neither hot (= good weather)

Note the difference with the following expressions:

Tengo frío (I am cold)
Tengo calor (I am hot)

The first one is about the weather, the second one is how do you feel.

Hope you like it, have a nice day! :)
