If you go to France or any French-speaking countries then you’ll find learning weather words to be very helpful for planning your trip. Understanding these words will also help you to be able to follow the weather forecast on the news. France has a wide variety of climates with lots of rain in the northern part of the country, mild weather in the South and lots of snow in the Alps during the winter.
In this lesson below you will see that to describe the weather sometimes you say “il fait” and then the kind of weather. However in some situations you simply say “il” (it’s) then the verb, such as “il pleut” or it’s raining. I’ve also provided some basic nouns such as thunder (le tonerre) and and lightning (l’éclair). Lastly, I’ve provided some slang.
