Have you ever looked out the window and wondered how to describe the weather in German? Today we're becoming German meteorologists who can talk about 'das Wetter' - that's German for 'the weather'!
Just like German weather forecasters on ARD, German people check the weather every day to plan their day. Knowing these words will help you chat about sunny days, rainy afternoons, and everything in between.
Here are today's new German weather words. Click each one to hear how it's pronounced by a native German speaker. Notice how some use der (masculine), die (feminine), or das (neuter) - German weather has personalities too!
Try saying each word after you hear it. Which ones sound most like English weather words? Which ones are completely new to your ears?
