Learning the words of weather in Mandarin is not that hard. As you may have seen, some weather words share the same root word 天 (tiān, meaning “sky”, “day”). Only the first characters are different. In details, the words of weather are:
天气 tiān qì (weather)
晴天 qíng tiān (sunny)
阴天 yīn tiān (cloudy)
下雨 xià yǔ (rainy)
下雪 xià xuě (snowy)
刮风 guā fēng (windy)
今天天气怎么样? Jīn tiān tiān qì zěn me yang? (How's the weather today?)
今天天气很好。 Jīn tiān tiān qì hěn hǎo. (The weather is good today.)
今天你有空吗? Jīn tiān nǐ yǒu kòng ma? (Are you free today?)
今天我有空。 Jīn tiān wǒ yǒu kòng. (I am free today.)
