1. The weather today

Transcript item

Joanna: So, blue sky, not a cloud in the sky today. Bright sunshine, but it's a little bit misty, little bit hazy, so we haven't got a very good view today.

Tina: It's really, really windy and pretty, pretty misty today. I need my big hat to keep me warm.

Kevan: Yesterday, it was snowing all day. It was cloudy and it was cold, it was about -1 or -2 degrees. But today we've got blue skies, the sun's out, it's a bit warmer. It's about 3 or 4 degrees and it's fantastic weather for snowboarding.

Kirk: It's a beautiful Saturday afternoon with a bright blue sky, though as you can see looking at the mountain of Montserrat there in the distance, it's also a bit hazy.

Joanna: The weather up here is windy and a little bit rainy, but there's a rainbow!

Joanne: So, it's a beautiful day today. The sun's shining and there's a lovely blue sky. It is a bit chilly, but, yeah, it's a lovely day.

Adam: It's March, spring! No! No, it isn't. It's cold and it's snowy. I mean, yeah, it's very pretty. I know, it's beautiful. Oh, but when's it going to be over?

Tina: It's a yucky day in the UK today. It's raining, it's windy, my hands are freezing, and I forgot my umbrella! Yuck!

Joanna: Today it's a beautiful day. The sky is really clear and it's sunny. But it's very cold, it was -1 when we started our little run this morning. But clear, blue skies and the sun is shining. Beautiful!

Today's weather is cloudy and misty with temperature around 21 degree celsius. It was not good when compared with bright blue skies with sunshine in Leeds few days ago as shown in the picture.

The weather in here for today is quite unpredictable in Yangon, the city where i live in. It's a little bit  sunny in the morning around 29 degree. The weather app in my laptop expects that it will rain during the day through and might be very humid day.

Hi! In what country is Yangon? I'm from to Spain and I live in small village in Barcelona. The wheather here is very hot and humid. There's a blue sky and there aren't any clouds.

The weather is sunny today , not so scorching ,but as long as it's still morning  when I am writing , lt will be hotter during the  day maybe :) 

In one day , Summer season will be over and Autumn is coming . 

Hazy was a new word for me. As I guess it means  foggy? Or have any differance from this word?

Today I learn new vocalarys " it's a little bit misty and a little bit hazy" same with "foggy".

And at my place, today, the weather is little bit hot, it's quite uncomfortable to walk in this weather. In the AC room is still a true love :))))

Hi bkmen,

Thanks for sharing your photo, and I'm glad that you learned some new vocabulary with our video.

It looks as if the weather is hot where you are. Is it humid too? In that case we could use the word 'muggy' - do you know that one? When the weather is muggy, it's unpleasantly warm and the air contains a lot of water.

Best wishes,
Jo

This was taken last week on my morning walk (on the East Sussex coast of England)❤. It was a lovely morning with the sun shining, the wind coming from the sea had a slight chill to it but it made the walk even more enjoyable and because it was quite early there weren't too many people around either. I do love a walk along the seafront!

This picture was taken on my campus. The weather was a bit cloudy but mostly sunny. It was also very windy though you can't tell by just seeing the photo. From the vocabulary presented above, I could learn various ways to express the degree of coldness, such as chilly and freezing.

Hi there.
I've learned from this video the new word "hazy".
If I've understood correctly - it's a very light and thin mist, that is visible only at a long distance.
Now I know four grades of visibility:
foggy => misty => hazy => clear

Thanks eRider I learned about the differences between weather related terms :) Here in Lima, Peru we have a light blue sky, not hazy not misty even though our weather has a lot of humidity. The sun is not shining today as it was yesterday! But it is a nice fresh day.

You are welcome :)
I hope my explanation is correct.
What is the average temperature in Lima these days?

The weather these days s quite changeable here in Kyiv, Ukraine.
There were many rainy days. The soil became wet and softened. Because of that, I saw several fallen trees (see photo) in the park yesterday.
Today is a cloudy, boring day.

Hello everyone! Here in India the weather is so hot,it makes us sweating all day!

Hi vicky_4498 ✿

I went to India many years ago and remember it being super hot and we were always sweaty! How many seasons do you have in India. I remember there being a 'rainy' season or 'monsoon' season, but can't remember which months it was like that.

I've just been for a walk along the seafront and we had sun, rain, wind then hail in the space of an hour. It was nuts! 
Enjoy your day ...
