Spanish weather vocabulary worksheet with illustrations and fill-in-the-blank exercises.

Let’s go step by step to solve this homework.

Part 1: Match the drawings with the correct Spanish weather/climate words

We are given a list of words:
> frío, nublado, sequía, parcialmente soleado, truenos, arcoíris, erupción volcánica, nieve, caliente, tornado, lluvioso, inundación, soleado, terremoto, ventoso

And we have 15 drawings (3 rows × 5 columns). We need to match each drawing to the right word from the list.

Let’s go row by row:

Row 1:
1. Three clouds → nublado (cloudy)
2. Big smiling sun → soleado (sunny)
3. Sun peeking behind cloud → parcialmente soleado (partly sunny)
4. Cloud with lightning bolts → truenos (thunderstorms)
5. Cloud blowing wind → ventoso (windy)

Row 2:
6. Rainbow over cloud → arcoíris (rainbow)
7. Cloud raining → lluvioso (rainy)
8. Snowflake → nieve (snow)
9. Thermometer + sun (red = hot) → caliente (hot)
10. Thermometer + snowflake (blue = cold) → frío (cold)

Row 3:
11. Volcano erupting → erupción volcánica (volcanic eruption)
12. House flooded in water → inundación (flood)
13. Twisting funnel cloud → tornado (tornado)
14. Cracked ground with house falling → terremoto (earthquake)
15. Dry cracked earth under sun → sequía (drought)

✔ All 15 matched correctly using only the provided words.

Part 2: Complete the sentences with the most appropriate climate-related word

Sentences:

1. Han habido muchos incendios forestales este año. Ha estado muy ____________.
→ Forest fires happen when it’s dry and hot → caliente or sequía? But “ha estado muy” suggests an adjective describing the condition → caliente fits better here. Wait — actually, “sequía” is a noun, but the sentence says “muy ___”, so we need an adjective. “Caliente” works. But let’s check context: many wildfires often due to drought → maybe they want “sequía”? No — grammar: “muy” requires adjective. So caliente.

Wait — looking back at the word list: “sequía” is a noun. The sentence needs an adjective after “muy”. So “caliente” is correct.

But let’s read again: “Ha estado muy ___” → could also be “seco” but that’s not in the list. From our list, “caliente” is best.

Actually — wait! In Spanish, sometimes people say “ha estado muy seco” but “seco” isn’t in the list. Our available words include “caliente” and “sequía”. Since “sequía” is a noun, it doesn’t fit grammatically after “muy”. So must be caliente.

BUT — hold on! Maybe they expect “sequía” even if grammar is off? Let’s look at other clues.

Sentence 2: Cayó demasiada lluvia en pocos días, lo cual provocó ______________.
→ Too much rain causes flooding → inundación ✔

Sentence 3: El pronóstico del clima indica que hoy estará nublado. Seguro ______________.
→ If it’s cloudy, likely to rain → lluvioso ✔

Sentence 4: Las hojas de los árboles ya cayeron. Pronto caerá ______________ por el invierno.
→ Leaves fell → winter coming → snow → nieve ✔

Sentence 5: Ayer estuvo tan ______________ que varios árboles fueron derribados.
→ Trees knocked down → strong wind → ventoso ✔

Now back to sentence 1: Many forest fires this year. It has been very ________.

If we use caliente, it makes sense — hot weather causes fires.

Alternatively, could it be “sequía”? Grammatically incorrect (“muy sequía” is wrong), unless they meant “ha habido sequía” — but the sentence says “ha estado muy ___”.

So strictly speaking, caliente is correct.

But let’s double-check the original word list — maybe I missed something?

List: frío, nublado, sequía, parcialmente soleado, truenos, arcoíris, erupción volcánica, nieve, caliente, tornado, lluvioso, inundación, soleado, terremoto, ventoso

Yes — “caliente” is there. And it’s an adjective. Perfect for “muy caliente”.

However — in real-life usage, people might say “ha estado muy seco” or “en sequía”, but since “seco” isn’t listed, and “sequía” is a noun, we stick with caliente.

Wait — another thought: maybe they accept “sequía” even though it’s not grammatical? Probably not — this is educational material, should teach proper grammar.

Final decision for #1: caliente

But let me see if any other word fits... “ventoso”? Wind can spread fire, but “muy ventoso” wouldn’t directly cause many fires — heat and dryness do. So still caliente.

Actually — upon second thought, in some contexts, “ha estado muy seco” is implied, but again, “seco” not in list. So yes, caliente is the only logical choice.

Wait — I think I made a mistake earlier. Let me re-read sentence 1:

“Han habido muchos incendios forestales este año. Ha estado muy ____________.”

The phrase “ha estado muy” expects an adjective. From the list, adjectives are: frío, nublado, parcialmente soleado, caliente, soleado, ventoso, lluvioso.

“Sequía” is a noun — cannot follow “muy”.

So definitely caliente.

But let’s confirm all answers:

1. caliente
2. inundación
3. lluvioso
4. nieve
5. ventoso

All make sense.
