Le temps
Understanding French weather terms is useful for deciding what to wear, planning what to do, and, of course, making small talk.
The French word for weather is le temps, and the primary verb used to talk about the weather is faire; more specifically, the impersonalil fait. The French equivalent of 'How's the weather?' is literally 'What weather is it doing?': Quel temps fait-il ?
The weather report and forecast is called la météo, short for la météorologie.
Here are the most common French weather terms – click the links for sound files, or the (verbs) for conjugation tables.
It's … | Il fait … | (faire) |
nice out | beau | |
hot | chaud | |
cool | frais | |
cold | froid | |
humid | humide | |
heavy/close | lourd | |
cloudy | nuageux | |
stormy | orageux | |
bad weather | mauvais | |
___ degrees | ___ degrés* | |
It's | Il y a … | (avoir) |
sunny | du soleil | |
windy | du vent | |
foggy | du brouillard | |
It's … | Il … | |
raining | pleut | (pleuvoir) |
pouring | pleut à verse | |
snowing | neige | (neiger) |
freezing | gèle | (geler) |
You can't talk about normal weather conditions with être (to be); you need either faire or a specific verb like pleuvoir.
* The French use Celsius for weather, so for example il fait 30° would mean that it's hot (86°F), not the below freezing it would be in Fahrenheit.

Sedona enjoys 278 sunny days per year. Be sure to pack a brimmed hat, comfortable sturdy shoes, a high SPF sunscreen and a camera.
At an elevation of 4,500 feet (1,372 meters), Sedona receives a fair amount of snow up on the Mogollon Rim, but only experiences a few inches per month on the ground in the winter. Iflicks 2 2 4 5. This kind of moderate winter weather makes visiting Sedona in the low season a pleasure; fewer crowds, easy layering pieces to pack and wear, and usually dry road conditions for the entire drive up from Phoenix are just a few reasons to visit in December, January and February. And the red rocks look positively spectacular when dusted in white. Do use caution when driving up Highway 89A toward Flagstaff in the winter; as you climb, you're more likely to experience snowy conditions on the already winding, steep portion of the scenic route.
Temps Weather Time And Temperature
Conversely, in the summertime, Sedona experiences rainfall mostly during the August monsoon season. When the dew point rises in the late summer months, Arizona experiences quick, intense thunderstorms. These monsoons contribute to rapidly shifting swings in weather, but locals will tell you that the monsoon season is one of their favorite times of year because it brings relief to seasonally high temperatures and makes the landscape incredibly verdant and fragrant. The red rock formations really 'pop' against a dark grey and stormy backdrop. Use caution when hiking or playing in Oak Creek, such as at popular swimming holes like Slide Rock, Grasshopper Point. A surprise thunderstorm can cause dangerous flash flooding or ruin a return hike back to your car.
