Spanish weather vocabulary worksheet for students to match descriptive weather words with the appropriate season.

Let’s go step by step to match the weather words with the right seasons.

We have these Spanish weather phrases:

- llueve → it rains
- nieva → it snows
- hiela → it freezes
- hay niebla → there is fog
- hay tormenta → there is a storm
- está nublado → it is cloudy
- está fresco → it is cool
- hace calor → it is hot
- hace frío → it is cold
- hace sol → it is sunny

Now, let’s think about what weather usually happens in each season.

---

Primavera / Spring (flower icon)
Spring is when flowers bloom. It can be rainy, sometimes stormy, often cloudy or foggy, and not too hot or cold — maybe cool or mild.
Good matches:
→ llueve (rains)
→ hay tormenta (storms happen in spring)
→ está nublado (cloudy days)
→ hay niebla (foggy mornings)
→ está fresco (cool temps)
*(Note: “hace sol” also fits sometimes, but we’ll save that for summer if needed)*

But we only need 4 per season. Let’s pick the most common ones for spring:
1. llueve
2. hay tormenta
3. está nublado
4. hay niebla
*(“está fresco” could also work — we’ll see where else it fits)*

---

Verano / Summer (sun icon)
Summer = hot and sunny! Sometimes storms, but mostly sun and heat.
Best matches:
→ hace calor (hot)
→ hace sol (sunny)
→ está fresco? Maybe early morning or evening — but not typical.
→ hay tormenta? Yes, summer thunderstorms happen.
→ está nublado? Not usually — summer is mostly clear.
→ llueve? Sometimes, but less than spring/fall.
→ hace frío? No.
→ nieva/hiela? Definitely not.

So for summer:
1. hace calor
2. hace sol
3. hay tormenta (summer storms)
4. está fresco? Hmm… maybe not best. What about “llueve”? Some places get rain in summer. But let’s stick with strongest fits.

Actually, “está fresco” might fit better in fall. Let’s hold off.

Wait — the instructions say: *Some weather words may go under more than one season!* So we can reuse them!

That helps. So for summer, definitely:
1. hace calor
2. hace sol
3. hay tormenta
4. llueve (if you live somewhere with summer rain) OR está fresco (for cooler summer nights)

But let’s choose the most obvious:

✔ Verano:
1. hace calor
2. hace sol
3. hay tormenta
4. llueve *(optional — but acceptable)*
OR
4. está fresco *(also possible)*

I think “está fresco” is better saved for fall. Let’s use “llueve” here as optional.

Actually, let’s check standard associations:

In many curricula, summer = hot, sunny, sometimes stormy/rainy.

So I’ll go with:
1. hace calor
2. hace sol
3. hay tormenta
4. llueve

---

Otoño / Fall (leaf icon)
Fall = leaves falling, cooling down, windy, rainy, foggy, sometimes stormy.
Common weather:
→ está fresco (cool)
→ hace frío (getting colder)
→ llueve (rainy)
→ hay niebla (foggy)
→ está nublado (cloudy)
→ hay tormenta (autumn storms)
→ hace sol? Sometimes, but less dominant.

Pick top 4:
1. está fresco
2. hace frío
3. llueve
4. hay niebla
*(or está nublado — both good)*

Let’s do:
1. está fresco
2. hace frío
3. llueve
4. está nublado

---

Invierno / Winter (snowflake icon)
Winter = cold, snow, ice, freezing, cloudy, maybe foggy.
Clear matches:
→ nieva (snows)
→ hiela (freezes)
→ hace frío (cold)
→ está nublado (often cloudy)
→ hay niebla (foggy winter mornings)
→ llueve? Sometimes, but often snow instead.
→ hace sol? Rarely, and even then it’s cold.

Top 4:
1. nieva
2. hiela
3. hace frío
4. está nublado
*(hay niebla also works — but we’ll pick the strongest)*

---

Now, let’s assign final answers, making sure we’re using logical matches and reusing words where allowed.

Remember: We can reuse words across seasons!

Final Assignments:

Primavera / Spring
1. llueve
2. hay tormenta
3. está nublado
4. hay niebla

Verano / Summer
1. hace calor
2. hace sol
3. hay tormenta
4. llueve *(or está fresco — but let’s keep llueve since summer storms bring rain)*

Wait — actually, “está fresco” is PERFECT for fall, and “llueve” is fine for summer too. But let’s make sure we’re not missing anything.

Alternative idea: In some regions, summer doesn’t rain much — so maybe “está fresco” for summer evenings? But “hace calor” and “hace sol” are musts.

I think it’s safe to include “llueve” in summer because of thunderstorms.

But let’s double-check: The word list has “está fresco” — which means “it is cool”. That’s great for spring and fall. For summer, it’s less common unless at night.

Maybe better to put “está fresco” in spring and fall, and for summer, use:

Verano:
1. hace calor
2. hace sol
3. hay tormenta
4. está nublado? Not really — summer is usually clear.

Hmm. Maybe “llueve” is okay.

Alternatively, perhaps “hace sol” and “hace calor” are the main two, and then “hay tormenta”, and then... what’s left?

Actually, looking back — “está fresco” can go in spring AND fall. And “llueve” can go in spring, fall, AND summer.

So for summer, let’s confidently say:

1. hace calor
2. hace sol
3. hay tormenta
4. llueve

Yes.

Otoño / Fall
1. está fresco
2. hace frío
3. llueve
4. está nublado

Invierno / Winter
1. nieva
2. hiela
3. hace frío
4. está nublado

Wait — “hace frío” is used in both fall and winter — that’s allowed! Same with “llueve”, “está nublado”, etc.

Perfect.

Let me write the final answer clearly.
