321 Learn English.com: ESL vocabulary: the weather (basic) (level: A2) - Free Printable

This worksheet is designed to help learners (especially at the A1 level) practice vocabulary related to weather, temperature, and other weather-related words. Let's go through each section step by step and fill in the blanks with the correct answers.

---

🔹 Section 1: What’s the weather like?

Match each weather icon with the correct word from the list:

#### Weather icons:
1. ☀️ Sun → sunny
2. ☁️ Clouds → (partly) cloudy
3. ☀️ behind cloud → overcast
4. 🌪️ Wind symbol → windy
5. ☁️ with raindrops → rainy
6. ☁️ with rain and wind → wet/humid
7. ☁️ with lightning → stormy
8. ☁️ with snowflakes → snowy
9. ☁️ with sun and fog → foggy
10. 💧 Water droplet with % → hailing

> ✔ Correct Answers:
> 1. sunny
> 2. (partly) cloudy
> 3. overcast
> 4. windy
> 5. rainy
> 6. wet/humid
> 7. stormy
> 8. snowy
> 9. foggy
> 10. hailing

> ⚠️ Note: "Hailing" is a bit tricky — it refers to hail, which is shown as ice pellets falling. The icon shows a water drop with a percentage sign, but likely meant to represent hail. However, if it's showing a single large drop, it might be mislabeled. But based on context, "hailing" fits best among the options.
