Useful vocabulary for Part 1 questions about weather
What is the climate like in your country?
The climate is fairly hot and humid most of the year, with a very mild winter and a rainy season. There are also typhoons that tend to come around at the beginning of summer.
It’s quite changeable, really. We have periods of time with clear blue skies, then all of a sudden we’ll have a torrential rain.
In my country, we generally have a very mild climate. During summer, we occasionally have torrential rains and flash floods.
What is the weather like in your country during summer?
Most of the time, it is warm, but when there is a heatwave, it is boiling hot (sweltering hot). We may have plenty of scorchers.
What is the weather like in your country during winter?
As a rule, it’s freezing cold in the winter. I can literally see my breath in my room. But we still get a few sunny spells, occasionally.
It is chilly during winter in my country. It is quite comfortable, but it can get frosty when it hails.
Well, it typically snows. Usually, we have snow flurries, but sometimes we may have a big snow blizzard. If you walk outside, you will just see sleet on the road and
slush on the pavement (AE sidewalk). You can even see icicles hanging from the roof.
What’s your favourite kind of weather?
I love cool, overcast weather. I like when I can wear a light jacket and not feel hot at all.
I like mild and windy weather, to some extent. I enjoy it when the weather is a little bit hot but when there is a breeze that can take away the heat from me.
Is there any type of weather you really don’t like?
Yes, I loathe hot and humid weather. It makes me feel sick and tired when I get too sweaty and hot. Besides, such weather can ruin my clothes.
I’m not fond of the heatwaves that we often get during the summer. It becomes super hot and dry. And I end up feeling thirsty and sweaty all the time.
I dislike gloomy weather. It makes me feel depressed. I also hate the weather with big gales. It turns my hair into a mess. Who could possibly like that?
Does it bother you much when it rains?
It depends. If it is just a drizzle, then it doesn’t bother me. But if it is a downpour, it bothers me a lot because I get so soaked.
Well! If it is just a gentle (light) rain, then I am okay with it. But if I get caught in a torrential rain and get drenched, that I really hate.
