Question

How can you use FAIRE to talk about the weather during different seasons? What are some other ways to talk about weather?

Answer 1

Bonjour,

Au printemps il fait doux.

En été il fait chaud. Or : En été, il fait beau.

En automne il fait frais.

En hiver il fait froid.

En hiver, il gèle - it’s freezing

En hiver, il neige.

Au printemps

En automne il pleut à verse. ( it’s pouring)

En automne, il y a du vent. (it’s windy)

En automne, c’est nuageux. (It’s cloudy.)

En été,il y a du soleil. (it’s sunny)

Answer 2

Bonjour

To ask about the weather

what's the weather like ? ==>

Quel temps fait-il ?

For weather with adjectives as " beau/nice", "froid/cold", "chaud/hot", "doux/warm", "frais/cool",  you'll use "FAIRE (il, 3rd pers. sing.) + adjective"

il fait beau

il fait froid

il fait chaud

il fait frais

il fait doux

if you use an adjective + -y , as it's windy, it's cloudy, it's sunny ... you'll use "il y a + noun"

il y a du soleil = it's sunny

il y a du vent = it's windy

il y a des nuages = it's cloudy

Then you have verbs as "pleuvoir/ to rain", "neiger/ to snow", "to freeze/geler", .. you'll use the 3e pers. sing : il + verbe

Il pleut = it's raining

il neige = it's snowing

il gèle = it's freezing

Of course you have expressions as

it's raining dogs and cats = il pleut des cordes

....

Hope this will help ☺☺☺
