About Weather & seasons

Talking about the weather is a key part of everyday English, especially in Britain, where it is the classic way to start a conversation. For learners it is also an easy daily routine: what's the weather like today?

Kids and A1 learners learn sunny, rainy, windy, cloudy, snowy and hot/cold, along with the seasons and what we wear in each. A2 learners use the forecast to practice will and going to, describe temperatures and compare weather in different countries. B1 learners describe extreme weather and past events with past simple and past continuous. From B2 to C2 learners discuss climate change, natural disasters and weather idioms such as under the weather and a storm in a teacup.

This page offers printable worksheets, ready-to-teach lessons and vocabulary flashcard decks on weather and seasons.

Teaching tips: Weather & seasons

  • Start each lesson with a quick weather report from a different learner so the language becomes routine.
  • Teach noun and adjective pairs (sun/sunny, rain/rainy, wind/windy) and watch for "It's sun today".
  • Have learners present a TV weather forecast in groups using a map and future forms.
  • Contrast "It's raining" (now) with "It rains a lot in April" (in general) to practice present continuous and present simple.
