La Météo – The Weather
Did you know that they use Celsius (the metric system) instead of Fahrenheit with the weather in France?
To convert ºC to ºF, use this formula: C x 1.8 = 32 = F
For example, 0º C = 32º F or 15º C = 59º F
Le Temps – The Weather
Quel temps fait-il? “What’s the weather like?” or “How’s the weather?”
–Il fait du soleil. = “It’s sunny.”
-Il fait beau. = “It’s nice out.”
-Il fait chaud. = “It’s hot.”
-Il pleut. = “It’s raining”
-Il fait mauvais. = “It’s yucky out.”
–Il fait du vent. = “It’s windy.”
–Il fait frais. = “It’s cool.”
-Il fait froid. = “It’s cold.”
–Il y a des nuages. = “It’s cloudy.” (literally- there are clouds)
-Il neige. = It’s snowing.
Les Saisons (seasons) (“in” + season)
l’hiver (m) en hiver (Winter)
l’été (m) en été (Summer)
l’automne (m) en automne (Fall)
le printemps (m) au printemps (Spring)
“It’s the Fall” = C’est l’automne / “In the Fall” = en automne
