Talking About the Weather

It is the most common small talk topic in the world. But going beyond "sunny" and "rainy" allows for richer description and helps you connect with people by sharing complaints or joy about the elements.

Nuanced Description

• "It's quite muggy today." (Hot and humid)
• "There is a chill in the air." (Cold but crisp)
• "It's pouring outside." (Raining heavily)

Extreme Weather With climate change, we are seeing more extreme events like hurricanes, droughts, and blizzards. Discussing these events requires vocabulary related to disaster and survival. Words like "evacuate," "flood," and "heatwave" are unfortunately becoming more common in daily news.
