Spanish Weather Expressions Test Worksheet

Let's solve this Weather Expressions Test (Spanish) by matching each English weather expression on the left with its correct Spanish translation on the right.

---

Step-by-step Matching:

We'll go through each English phrase and find its corresponding Spanish equivalent from the list (A–Y).

---

1. It is hot
→ *Hace calor*
✔ I

2. It is cold
→ *Hace frío*
✔ U

3. The weather is good
→ *Hace buen tiempo*
✔ O

4. The weather is bad
→ *Hace mal tiempo*
✔ E

5. It is cloudy
→ *Está nublado* (Note: "nublando" is incorrect; should be "nublado")
But we have: B. Está nublando → This is grammatically awkward. The correct form is "Está nublado". However, since that’s not an option, B is likely intended to mean “it is becoming cloudy” or “clouding up”. But in standard usage, "Está nublado" is better.
Wait — let's check the options carefully.
Actually, B. Está nublando is not a standard construction. The correct one is "Está nublado", but that's not listed. Wait — perhaps it's a typo?
Looking at the list, B is "Está nublando", which is incorrect. But maybe they meant "Está nublado"?
No — instead, look for alternatives.
Wait — there's J. Es brumoso = foggy, not cloudy.
Hmm.

Let’s double-check common expressions:

- It is cloudy → *Está nublado* → not listed
But we have: B. Está nublando → This is not correct Spanish.
Wait — perhaps it's a mistake?
Alternatively, maybe C. Hay neblina = there is fog → no
Wait — let’s skip and come back.

Wait — actually, "Está nublado" is missing. But B. Está nublando might be intended as "it is clouding up", which is acceptable in some contexts, though rare.

But here’s a better idea: Look at the options again.

Wait — perhaps "Está nublado" is implied by B, but it's written as "nublando" — which is incorrect.

Alternatively, maybe the test has a typo.

But let's proceed with what's given.

Wait — perhaps I missed something.

Let me scan all options:

- B. Está nublando → “is clouding up” – possible, but not standard
- C. Hay neblina → there is fog
- D. Está soleado → sunny
- E. Hace mal tiempo → bad weather
- F. Es durmiente → is sleeping → irrelevant
- G. Hay una inundación → there is a flood
- H. Está aclamando → “is acclaiming” — nonsense
- I. Hace calor → hot
- J. Es brumoso → misty/foggy
- K. La luna esta afuera → the moon is outside
- L. Está lloviendo → it is raining
- M. ¿Hay nieve? → Is there snow?
- N. Está ventoso → windy
- O. Hace buen tiempo → good weather
- P. Está lloviznando → drizzling
- Q. Está nevando → it is snowing
- R. Está despejado → clear
- S. ¿Como está afuera? → How is it outside?
- T. Hay un terremoto → there's an earthquake
- U. Hace frio → cold
- V. Hace mucho frio → very cold
- W. Está vertiendo → is pouring (downpour)
- X. Es brillante → is bright/shining
- Y. Está tormentoso → stormy

Now let’s match properly:

1. It is hot → Hace calor → I

2. It is cold → Hace frío → U

3. The weather is good → Hace buen tiempo → O

4. The weather is bad → Hace mal tiempo → E

5. It is cloudy → *Está nublado* → but not listed!
But we have B. Está nublando — this is not standard.
Wait — perhaps it's a typo, and they meant "Está nublado", but it's written wrong.
Alternatively, maybe "Está nublado" is supposed to be B, but it's misspelled.

But let’s see — is there any other option?

Wait — "Está nublado" is not present. So perhaps B. Está nublando is intended to mean “it is getting cloudy”, which is acceptable in some dialects.

But in standard Spanish, "Está nublado" is correct.

Wait — maybe the test uses "Está nublado" as B, but it's miswritten.

But according to the image, it says B. Está nublando — that’s not correct.

But let’s move on and see if another option fits.

Wait — C. Hay neblina = there is fog → no
J. Es brumoso = it is foggy/misty → not exactly cloudy

So no perfect match for “cloudy”?

Wait — perhaps "Está nublado" is missing, but B. Está nublando is close.

Alternatively, maybe the intended answer is B, even if slightly off.

But let’s continue.

6. It is sunny → *Está soleado* → D

7. It is clear → *Está despejado* → R

8. It is windy → *Está ventoso* → N

9. It is stormy → *Está tormentoso* → Y

10. It's raining → *Está lloviendo* → L

11. It is snowing → *Está nevando* → Q

12. It is foggy → *Es brumoso* or *Hay neblina*
→ J. Es brumoso or C. Hay neblina
Both are possible.
"Es brumoso" = it is misty/foggy
"Hay neblina" = there is fog
So both could work. But “It is foggy” is more naturally “Hay neblina” or “Está neblinoso” — but “neblinoso” isn’t here.

But C. Hay neblina → “there is fog” → matches “It is foggy” in meaning.

So 12 → C

13. The moon is out → *La luna está afuera* → K

14. It's humid → *Está húmedo* → A

15. It's pouring → *Está vertiendo* → W

16. It's hailing → Hmm — not listed.
But we have G. Hay una inundación = flood
No mention of hail.
Wait — perhaps missing?
But "Hace granizo" is not here.
So maybe no match?
But wait — P. Está lloviznando = drizzling
Not hail.

So 16. It's hailing → no direct match?
But perhaps "Hay granizo" — not listed.

Wait — maybe "Está granizando" — not here.

So possibly missing.

But let’s assume it’s not in the list — so skip for now.

17. It's sparkling → *Es brillante* → X

18. It's misty → *Es brumoso* → J
(But we used J for #12? No — #12 is foggy, #18 is misty — same thing?)

Wait — J. Es brumoso → means foggy/misty — so both 12 and 18 could use J?

But can't reuse.

So conflict.

Wait — 12. It is foggy → C. Hay neblina
18. It's misty → also C or J?

But "misty" = *brumoso* or *neblinoso*
"foggy" = *neblina*

So C. Hay neblina → "there is fog" → better for "foggy"

J. Es brumoso → "it is misty" → better for "misty"

So:

- 12. It is foggy → C
- 18. It's misty → J

Yes — that makes sense.

So:

12 → C
18 → J

19. It's better cold → This is ambiguous.
Possibly means "It's better when it's cold" — but the phrase is “It's better cold” — unclear.

But in context, maybe “It’s quite cold” or “It’s very cold”?
But V. Hace mucho frío → “It is very cold” → possible

But “better cold” doesn’t fit.

Wait — maybe it's a typo? Or “It’s colder”?

Alternatively, V. Hace mucho frío → “It is very cold”

But “better cold” is not a standard weather expression.

Perhaps it's meant to be “It's very cold” → V

But let’s keep going.

20. There's an earthquake → T. Hay un terremoto → ✔

21. There's a flood → G. Hay una inundación → ✔

22. Is there snow? → M. ¿Hay nieve? → ✔

23. How is it outside? → S. ¿Como está afuera? → ✔

24. It's sleeting → “Sleeting” = mixture of rain and snow — not commonly expressed in Spanish.
But P. Está lloviznando = drizzling
Or Q. Está nevando = snowing
But no “sleeting”.

But perhaps "Está lloviendo y nevando" — not here.

Wait — maybe "Está granizando" — not here.

So no match?
But P. Está lloviznando → drizzling — not sleeting.

So possibly missing.

But let’s see — maybe "Está lloviendo con nieve" — not listed.

So no.

25. It's drizzling → P. Está lloviznando → ✔

Now back to problematic ones.

Let’s compile what we have so far:

| # | English | Spanish | Letter |
|---|--------|---------|--------|
| 1 | It is hot | Hace calor | I |
| 2 | It is cold | Hace frío | U |
| 3 | The weather is good | Hace buen tiempo | O |
| 4 | The weather is bad | Hace mal tiempo | E |
| 5 | It is cloudy | ? | B? |
| 6 | It is sunny | Está soleado | D |
| 7 | It is clear | Está despejado | R |
| 8 | It is windy | Está ventoso | N |
| 9 | It is stormy | Está tormentoso | Y |
|10 | It's raining | Está lloviendo | L |
|11 | It is snowing | Está nevando | Q |
|12 | It is foggy | Hay neblina | C |
|13 | The moon is out | La luna está afuera | K |
|14 | It's humid | Está húmedo | A |
|15 | It's pouring | Está vertiendo | W |
|16 | It's hailing | ? | ? |
|17 | It's sparkling | Es brillante | X |
|18 | It's misty | Es brumoso | J |
|19 | It's better cold | ? | V? |
|20 | There's an earthquake | Hay un terremoto | T |
|21 | There's a flood | Hay una inundación | G |
|22 | Is there snow? | ¿Hay nieve? | M |
|23 | How is it outside? | ¿Cómo está afuera? | S |
|24 | It's sleeting | ? | ? |
|25 | It's drizzling | Está lloviznando | P |

Now fill in the blanks.

Problematic items:

5. It is cloudy
Only possible match: B. Está nublando — although grammatically odd, it may be intended to mean “it is becoming cloudy”.
In some contexts, “está nublando” is used colloquially.
So likely: B

16. It's hailing
No direct match.
But “hail” is *granizo*.
“Está granizando” — not listed.
So no option?
But P. Está lloviznando = drizzling — no
Q. Está nevando = snowing — no
So possibly missing.

But wait — is there a possibility that "Está granizando" was meant to be F. Es durmiente? No — that’s “sleeping”.

So no.

19. It's better cold
Possibly meant to be “It’s very cold” → V. Hace mucho frío
Or “It’s colder” — but no match.

But “better cold” might be a mistranslation of “It’s colder” or “It’s quite cold”.

So V is best guess.

24. It's sleeting
Again, no match.
But perhaps "Está lloviendo con nieve" — not listed.

But P. Está lloviznando = drizzling — not sleeting.

So possibly no match, but maybe L. Está lloviendo or Q. Está nevando — but neither is accurate.

But "sleeting" is not in the list.

Wait — perhaps "Está granizando" is missing.

But no.

So we must conclude that some items don’t have exact matches.

But let’s recheck the list.

Wait — is "Está nublado" missing? Yes.

But B. Está nublando — perhaps it's a typo, and should be "Está nublado".

But as written, it's "nublando", which is not standard.

However, in many educational materials, "Está nublando" is used incorrectly.

But let’s assume the intended answer is B for “cloudy”.

Similarly, for 16. It's hailing, no match.

But wait — G. Hay una inundación = flood — no

F. Es durmiente = is sleeping — no

H. Está aclamando = is acclaiming — no

So no.

But perhaps "Está granizando" is missing.

So maybe the test has errors.

But let’s assume only valid matches.

Now, let’s finalize the answers.

Conclusion:

Most items can be matched, but #16 (It's hailing) and #24 (It's sleeting) do not have corresponding Spanish translations in the list.

Likely, the test has omissions.

Also, #5 (It is cloudy) is matched to B. Está nublando, which is non-standard, but probably the intended answer.
