🥶 It's quite chilly Bring a coat
Let's start with an expression used to ask about the weather. "What's the weather like today?”
Let’s say it's extremely cold, about minus 10 degrees.
Don't just use "cold"👀 Instead, use 'freezing cold', meaning that you feel like you might freeze to death, or use 'below freezing' to express that the weather is below zero.
If it isn’t that cold, you can use 'chilly'. Here’s an example of how to use it!✨
It's quite chilly outside, Bring a coat!🧥
☔️ Rain is forecast for all day
When talking about information you heard in the weather forecast, you can say, "I heard from the forecast that..." or "The forecast says...".
It's used a lot in everyday life, so try to remember it!🙌
You can also say, "(weather) is forecast for this Monday". Take a look at the example.
Rain/Snow is forecast for this week.😹
