1. The weather today

Transcript item

Joanna: So, blue sky, not a cloud in the sky today. Bright sunshine, but it's a little bit misty, little bit hazy, so we haven't got a very good view today.

Tina: It's really, really windy and pretty, pretty misty today. I need my big hat to keep me warm.

Kevan: Yesterday, it was snowing all day. It was cloudy and it was cold, it was about -1 or -2 degrees. But today we've got blue skies, the sun's out, it's a bit warmer. It's about 3 or 4 degrees and it's fantastic weather for snowboarding.

Kirk: It's a beautiful Saturday afternoon with a bright blue sky, though as you can see looking at the mountain of Montserrat there in the distance, it's also a bit hazy.

Joanna: The weather up here is windy and a little bit rainy, but there's a rainbow!

Joanne: So, it's a beautiful day today. The sun's shining and there's a lovely blue sky. It is a bit chilly, but, yeah, it's a lovely day.

Adam: It's March, spring! No! No, it isn't. It's cold and it's snowy. I mean, yeah, it's very pretty. I know, it's beautiful. Oh, but when's it going to be over?

Tina: It's a yucky day in the UK today. It's raining, it's windy, my hands are freezing, and I forgot my umbrella! Yuck!

Joanna: Today it's a beautiful day. The sky is really clear and it's sunny. But it's very cold, it was -1 when we started our little run this morning. But clear, blue skies and the sun is shining. Beautiful!

Top of the morning to all of you around the world. Fall has just started a couple of days ago in Brazil. We have had a scorching sun these past summer with temperatures as high as 42 degrees celsius. Temperatures are now more pleasent and today the sky in Rio is clear with a few scattered clouds. Today is a good day!

It's typical April weather here in Cologne today.
We have a cloudless sky with a lot of sunshine on one side and thunderstorms with rain, hail and snow on the other side.
A strong wind is also blowing the whole day.
It's definitely a day to stay at home if it is possible for you.

Today is a little bit cold because of the wind, and unfortunately, there is no sun.

It is cloudy outside. We cannot see the bright blue sky as it is covered by clouds. It is a bit windy so we feel cold even though it's already spring. When we go outside, we still need to use a thick coat. How interesting!!!

It was sunny and there were a little cloud in the sky.

I have the same view through my window in Dnipro.
