French vocabulary:
Weather.
The weather - la météo
Below is a list of weather vocabulary.
This page is a work in progress, and I will continue adding more words, including more advanced vocabulary (C1–C2 level). I will also be adding quizzes soon, along with interactive activities to help you practice. In addition, I will connect the words to songs, movies, newspapers, books, and other media so you can see how these expressions are used in everyday French.
