A-Z of Weather "words"

I have decided to jump on the A-Z bandwagon wink

This game? The A-Z of (Spanish) weather "words"

(weather terms have been raised before but not in this format)

The rules?

We follow the alphabet through starting with A..

Weather conditons - weather predictions - weather instruments - and weather calamities are all allowed.

Post your (Spanish) weather-word together with it's English equivalent. If you like post a sentence that includes your weather-word.

And, if you're up to it, find a picture and post that as well...

I will commence..

agradable - pleasant

¡Qué clima tan agradable! (What nice weather!)

Don't forget to click on "las más nuevas"or "newest"!And now that we're circling the alphabet again - check your weather-word hasn't been used before!
