German Weather Expressions

  • Unlike French or Spanish, German uses "es ist" (it is) to describe weather conditions.
  • Avoid using the verb "machen" (to do/make) in weather descriptions.

Asking and Responding to Weather Inquiries

  • Ask "Wie ist das Wetter heute?" to inquire about the current weather.
  • Respond with phrases like "Es ist warm" (It is warm) or "Es ist kalt" (It is cold).
ADVICE

Expressing Extreme Weather

  • Use "extrem" or "außergewöhnlich" to express extreme weather conditions.
  • For example, say "Es ist außergewöhnlich kalt" for extraordinarily cold weather.
