Verbs to talk about the weather in Spanish

Your browser doesn’t support HTML5 video


In Spanish, we don’t use only one verb for the weather. We choose different verbs depending on the type of expression: HACER → for general conditions like heat, cold, sun, or wind. ? Examples: Hace calor (It’s hot), Hace frío (It’s cold), Hace sol (It’s sunny), Hace viento (It’s windy). ⚠️ Be careful: we don’t say hay sol to describe the weather — the correct form is hace sol. ESTAR → for describing the weather that can change easily, like the sky. ? Examples: Está nublado (It’s cloudy), Está despejado (It’s clear), Hoy está soleado (Today it’s sunny). SER → for describing the usual climate of a place. ? Example: Madrid es una ciudad soleada (Madrid is a sunny city — here we’re talking about the general climate). HABER → for elements that exist in the atmosphere. ? Examples: Hay nubes (There are clouds), Hay tormenta (There is a storm), Hay niebla (There is fog). ⚠️ But hay calor is not correct — we say hace calor.
