What's the weather like with you today?

Sunny and in the mid 90s today.

Sunny and cool

Low 90s today, plenty of sunshine and medium storm chances later.

A little bit of a surprise. We are getting some pretty strong thunderstorms now.

It's sunny here too.

Hot and sunny.

Grey and threatening rain.

Grey, windy and threatening rain.

It rained delightfully while we were inside enjoying our lunch out. You could see the canopy shedding water at a great rate...

It is sunny here and stormy.

So we are catching the edge of Storm Lilian. Its not raining yet but it will do later..
* Daar komt een schip met zure appelen aan* or the ship of sour apples is coming... to describe the approach of rain.

Once it gets here there are a plethora of words used to describe it...
ranging from Light rain or drizzel.. lichte motregen, motregen, zware motregen, (three degrees of light drizzle) miezelen , miezeren and spetteren
moderate rain..regen, buien, druppen
to the heavy stuff, gieten, gutsen, hozen, het regent pijpenstelen ( like cats and dogs) and hondenweer.(weather for dogs ? yeah I never understood that one either).

and many more often including some rather colourful word or those that include ice, which are reserved for winter.


I think the amount of ways to say rain actually says a lot about the Dutch climate .

Im convinced Noah was Dutch..

100 words for rain, Scotland.
