You can answer with simple phrases like <span data-no-translation>It&#8217;s sunny<\/span>, <span data-no-translation>It&#8217;s raining<\/span>, or <span data-no-translation>It&#8217;s cold<\/span>. This A2 vocabulary is essential for everyday communication, whether you are planning an outdoor activity or just chatting with a friend. Knowing these words also helps you understand weather reports and forecasts, which are common in many English-speaking countries. Mastering these basic terms will significantly improve your ability to talk about daily life and prepare you for tasks like describing pictures or answering personal questions in exams such as the A2 Key.<\/div>\n<h2>How Do We Ask About the Weather?<\/h2>\n<p>To ask about the weather, we use two main questions.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The most common question is: <span data-no-translation>What&#8217;s the weather like?<\/span><\/li>\n<li>You can also ask: <span data-no-translation>How is the weather?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Both questions mean the same thing.
