| Many expressions describing particular weather conditions use hace. To ask, "What is the weather like?" or "What's it like (outside)?" we use the expression, "¿Qué tiempo hace?" This literally means, "What's the weather doing/making?" The most common response is "Hace buen tiempo" [It's nice] or "Hace mal tiempo" [It's not nice]. |
| Other more specific weather descriptions use Estar or are a verb, such as Llover [to rain] and Nevar [to snow]. What do you think Nevada may mean when we refer to the Sierra Nevada mountains? [Hint: most people travel to the Sierra Nevada to go skiing!] |
