Six Minutes Vocabulary. From BBC LearningEnglish.com.

Hello and welcome to six minute vocabulary. I'm Rob.

And I'm Catherine. And our topic today is weather. Now Rob, apparently British

people love to talk about the weather. Do you think that's true? Absolutely. You know me.

I'm talking about it all the time. Yeah, you do actually. And in today's program, we'll look at some

key weather vocabulary and show you how to use it in different types of sentences.

There'll be a quiz.

And we'll give you a top tip

to help you learn vocabulary more effectively.

So on with the show.

And we'll start by listening to Harvey

talking about the weather where he lives.

And we have a question for you at home.

So the question is, what is the weather like for Harvey in spring? I live in the north. I love it here,

but the weather isn't too good. There's a lot of rain in the autumn and winter. In fact, it's raining right now. Sometimes it

snows in the winter. In the spring, the weather's usually quite windy, but it's lovely and sunny

in summer.

So that's Harvey, and we asked you about the weather in spring. What's it like?

Harvey said that the weather gets quite windy in spring.

Well done if you got that right. And we'll talk more about windy weather later.

First, let's talk about the rain. Listen to this clip.
