Talking about future weather conditions

Question

I want to say the weather will be beautiful tomorrow

Do I say el tiempo estará hermoso mañana o el tiempo será hermoso mañana?

I think Ser is more for pernament conditions where as estar is temporary. So if weather is temporary, would I use estará?

I don't know but because I don't I would say "Hará buen tiempo mañana." - Jubilado, May 21, 2016

That's a great way to avoid ser vs estar! Thanks so much! Totally forgot about hace buen tiempo jaja - Ramonaspiker, May 21, 2016

Thanks, Dani. :) - rac1, May 21, 2016

Answer 1

I agree with Jubilado. The common way is to use "hacer" with various expressions.

To express the weather will be "beautiful" I'd say "mañana el clima va a ser hermoso"

O "va a ser un día muy hermoso. " Some things just don't translate well word for word.

True. Muchas gracias! - Ramonaspiker, May 21, 2016

I'll vote for it. :) - bosquederoble, May 21, 2016

Now I know "ser" is the verb - which is what I thought it was. - Jubilado, May 21, 2016

Yup! It's a characteristic of this particular day. - Daniela2041, May 21, 2016

Answer 2

Ramona:

If you want to know about "ser" and "estar" read my thread on the subject. I got many many compliments on it.

Link to ser and estar by Daniela

Another excellent link. :) - bosquederoble, May 21, 2016

Dani, could you self publish your grammar on Amazon? They only print on demand, hence you could make a grammar that sells on paper, for grammar and dictionaries something that is phuysically in you hand ( or handbag) seems more , well, real. - annierats, May 21, 2016

And I think some of you articles are so clear and to the point. - annierats, May 21, 2016

Answer 3

Now that you have good answers to your question, I have difficulty letting a temporary vs. permanent comment lie.

May because era niño, soy adulto y algún día estaré muerto. Which of the three is (will be) permanent?

Estar is for conditions. What things are being.

Ser is for defining characteristics. What things are.

Bananas yellow. Los platános son amarillos.

The ones I buy start out green (están verdes) for a while before they are yellow for that short period before they turn black and nasty (están podridos).

But to us, being yellow is what defines a banana, as short as that period is in its existence.

Well said! Thanks for not letting my temporary vs pernament comment lie otherwise I would have never learned the true difference between Ser vs estar. Those were excellent examples! Thank you so much - Ramonaspiker, May 21, 2016

Ramona: See my post (on this thread) with a link to an article I wrote on ser and estar. - Daniela2041, May 21, 2016

I should have added: El cielo es azul, a menos que esté gris. ;) - bosquederoble, May 21, 2016

Fancy haha - Ramonaspiker, May 22, 2016
