Whether or not the weather will cooperate, is an important issue on which many plans are made and cancelled. It can happen sometimes that you are planning a long trip and you want to be sure that your walks and your tours around Italian cities will be safe and dry!
In this lesson, we'll cover a phrase that will help you finalize your plans, if they depend on the weather.

Lesson focus

In Italian, “what will the weather be tomorrow?” is che tempo farà domani.
che tempo farà domani.
Let’s break it down by syllable: che tempo farà domani.
Now let's hear it once again: che tempo farà domani.
The first word che means “what."
Let's hear this word one more time: che
This is followed by tempo, which in English is “weather."
Tempo
tempo
Then you have farà, which is the future of the verb fare, “to do” and it literally means “will it do."
Farà
farà
So to recap here, we have che tempo farà, literally, this means “what weather will it do?"
Finally, you have domani which means “tomorrow."
Let’s break it down by syllable and hear it one more time: Domani
domani
So all together, we have: che tempo farà domani? Literally, this means “what weather will it do tomorrow?” and it has to be translated as “what will the weather be tomorrow?"
Let's go the possible answers. In Italian, “it will rain” is pioverà.
pioverà.
Let’s break it down by syllable: pioverà.
Now let's hear it one more time: pioverà.
“It will snow” is nevicherà.
Nevicherà.
Nevicherà.
“It will be sunny” is ci sarà il sole.
Let’s break it down by syllable: ci sarà il sole.
Now let's hear it once again: ci sarà il sole.
The first word ci means “there” and it’s a pronominal particle.
Let's hear it one more time: ci
This is followed by sarà which means “will be.”
Sarà
Sarà
Then you have il which means "the", il.
Finally we have sole which is the Italian for “sun."
So all together, we have: ci sarà il sole which literally means “there will be the sun” and it has to be translated as “it will be sunny."
“It will be windy” is tirerà vento.
tirerà vento.
Let’s break it down by syllable: tirerà vento.
Now let's hear it once again: tirerà vento.
The first word tirerà means “it will blow."
Tirerà
And, tirerà
This is followed by vento which in English is “wind."
All together, we have: tirerà vento. Literally, this means “it will blow wind” and it has to be translated as “it will be windy."
In case you're somewhere where the weather can change very quickly, you can ask, “what will the weather be today?” che tempo farà oggi?
che tempo farà oggi?
Let’s break it down by syllable: che tempo farà oggi?
Now let's hear it once again: che tempo farà oggi?
As you can see, we have the same pattern of the phrase we have previously seen, che tempo farà which literally means “what weather will it do?” and then oggi “today” in place of domani “tomorrow."
Let's break down this word and hear it one more time: oggi
oggi
All together, we have: che tempo farà oggi? which literally means “what weather will it do today?” to translate as “what will the weather be today?"

Outro
