Weather in Italian

The weather is the easiest small talk there is, and Italian keeps it simple with two little verbs: fare and esserci. Learn the nouns, then the patterns.

How to describe the weather

Ask with Che tempo fa? (What's the weather like?). Answers use fa ("it makes") or c'è ("there is"):

ItalianEnglish
C'è il soleIt's sunny
Fa caldoIt's hot
Fa freddoIt's cold
C'è ventoIt's windy
È nuvolosoIt's cloudy
PioveIt's raining
NevicaIt's snowing

So temperature uses fa, sun and wind use c'è, and rain and snow have their own verbs (piovere, nevicare).
