¡Hola, amigos! Weather is part of our daily lives, and having the right Spanish vocabulary will boost your confidence and make your conversations flow more naturally.
You can find these words in many apps, but here I offer a fresh approach: I’ve carefully selected the most important weather-related nouns every intermediate student should know—and I have personally created new, fun, interactive games to help you enjoy and deepen your learning.
