Talking about the weather:

Talking about the weather:The first thing you notice when talking about the weather in Spanish is the use of "hace" and "hay" whereas in English we use "to be"EG: It is sunny = Hace sol (literally it makes sun)It is hot = Hace calorIt is very windy - Hace / Hay mucho viento

Asking about the weather:whats the weather like? = "qu tiempo hace?" or "cmo est el tiempo?"
