How to describe The Weather in Irish
When talking about the weather in Irish, there are many ways you can describe it but we have chosen four common phrases to help with expressing yourself in the Irish language. Firstly, the word for “the weather” in Irish is “an aimsir”. However, when talking about the weather, it’s important to remember to use the words “Tá sé” (It is) before each adjective for the weather you are going to use.
For example, if you were going to say “It is sunny” you would say “Tá sé grianmhar”, while “It is cloudy” would be “Tá sé scammalach”, “It is windy” would be “tá sé gaofar”, and finally “it is raining” would be “tá sé ag cur báistí”.
