My name is Angelika. I live in Germany where I was born. The weather has changed a lot in our area over the decades since my childhood. While I went to school in the 60th of the last century we could relay on the seasons.
There was a mild, bright spring. The summer was warm and sunny mostly up to 25 degree. Lightning with thunderstorm and rain showers occurred from time to time but less heavy and less dangerous than nowadays. While the winter season the temperatures dropped down below zero. It became icy and snowy. We could spend our leisure time on ski slopes or on ponds ice-skating every year. Nowadays our weather is much more erratic. Predictions have become more precisely because of modern, digital equipment but nevertheless even more dramatically.
But it might grow colder over the next weeks. The weather forecasters predict that it could become more winter-like. But their technical equipment hasn't allowed a serious prognostication for a long period yet. The following summer in might get very hot. We may get heat waves connected with drought. We have to keep an eye on the weather conditions every day for avoiding severe damages.
It's very important to get well informed. Our area around Dresden was repeatedly hit by devastating floods in the last decade. Such terrible events did never occur in the distant past here! Lately the weather changed sharply here. We have on calendar January but winter isn't typical as usual. No have snow and temperature above zero. The last days it is rainy, windy and from 1 to 3 degrees centigrade.
It will be rain again in the next few days. So hopefully, finally might be a real winter. The weather here is very pleasant a bit cool and rainy in winter and a bit hot in summer. There isn't a huge change of temperature like in the old continent althougt its climate could be different depending on the place where you are due to the fact that this island is very montainous.
The top of the island more than metres may be snowed in winter however you might have a walk on the beach whitout any coat in the same season. The autumns could be windy and could have tropical storms even the airport may be closed during one or two days because of these storms. In the other seasons the weather is warm thought it might have fogs in the centre and south of the island in the morning and this fogs might be thicker at night on the north.
This winter the weather was cold and sweet. The nearest mountains have a lot of snow, and also huge rains. And suddenly the snow wast melt, and the mountain rivers go down with a lot of water. When this rivers take on the Ebro we have flooded, very important floods. The water folding the landscape and some small villages. I was listed the loud noise of the river fully of water.
It rules relly quickly. It's an authentic spectacle. I think the weather is changing and there are higher temperatures and unusual huge rains and it will more folding events. I live in Madrid in the center of Spain.
The climate type in this zone it's between Continental and Mediterranean. We have cold winters and warm summers. Autumn and spring could be intermediate, with climate and temperatures changing by day to day. Today in my city it's cloudy but with nice temperature.
In the next days could be rainy and stormy. In a day it was sunny in the morning but in the afternoon it changed to a big thunderstorm with a lot of shower and light bolts. I think the climate change is a big problem for the Earth and we should make an effort to resolve it.
In the summer there are high temperatures in the morning and strong rainfalls in the afternoon which might cause floods and power lost all around the city. Today I live in Winnipeg, Cadana and I really like the weather here. Summers are Summers, hot and sunny all day.
Winters could be severe and long, snowy days may cause lots of trouble but the cold temperature, which could reach more than degrees, is something really tough to pass through. However, I like to be in a country that you can see all the diferents colors of the seasons. The worst event I remember is a tremendous flood occured on November in my town, causing a lot of demages. Streets and houses was entirely covered by mud requiring a lot of work to figure out all demages.
I was trapped in my house for more than 48 hours because of the massive amount of mud that prevented me and my family to get out. I noticed how the weather is changing since ten or fifteen years ago. Today is a sunny day with about 20 degrees, but it might be different, not so hot in October.
We could see it changing rapidly and it might be vioent downpour. Temperature may lessen overnight. This is not normal and clearly is a sign that global warming is on action, calling for a stroger commitment by everyone. Everyone could and should do something for the enviroment.
That's all. Thanks for reading. The weather promises us a cloudless afternoon. Setting your Language Level helps other users provide you with answers that aren't too complex or too simple.

Hans51 Could you tell me why native English speakers do not often use the sentence "It is rainy" No, I can't tell you. It's just one of those things. When a verb exists, we tend to prefer it - It is raining, pouring, snowing. Unreason Unreason I think "rainy" also implies that it might be raining off and on throughout the day. Kit, yes, that was my feeling too, but when I checked dictionary, I found: "a rainy day is one on which it rains a lot", so I didn't want to dilute the answer and after thinking about it I think it could imply either, depending on context and how you say it — Unreason.
You might add a note about an alternate way to say the first option would be "It's a rainy day today. Caleb, I take "It's a rainy day today" almost identical to "It is rainy today" as today is implied, btw - today etymologically came from "on the day" and I hoped I showed how the two phrases "It is raining Unreason: Yes it's almost identical, it's just a tad more natural and I hear it more.
And yes, I think your explanations were fine. Show 2 more comments. I wanted to add one difference between the two phrases that I think has not been covered. Raining is a verb, describing the action of rain. Rainy is an adjective, describing what the weather is like today. Fox 27k 22 22 gold badges silver badges bronze badges.
