TALKING ABOUT THE WEATHER

Talking about weather is a good way of starting a conversation. People talk about the weather on the phone and in person. Friends and family talk about the weather before they discuss what's new. Co-workers talk about the weather before starting a hard day of work. Even strangers discuss the weather. If you want to talk about the weather, you can use a lot of words and expressions. When we talk about the weather we usually tell how many degrees it is outside, for example, "It is eighty-five degrees (Fahrenheit)./ It is twenty-nine degrees (Celsius)." If we want to find out how the weather is going to be we can listen to weather report on the radio or on TV. Weather forecasts usually give information about the current day and about the next five days. Listening to the weather forecast helps people decide what to wear when they go outside.
