Memory Hack: To remember "canicule," think of "canicule" as the "canine" heat of summer – just like a hot dog in the summer heat!
Exam Tip: Practice talking about the weather not only by describing the current conditions but also by expressing how different weather affects your mood or plans. For example, say how a sunny day makes you want to go outside or how a rainy day might make you feel like staying indoors. This will help you use a broader range of vocabulary and impress the examiner.
En général, j'aime quand il fait beau et qu'il y a du soleil. Quand il fait beau, je peux sortir et me promener dans le parc. En été, il fait souvent chaud, mais parfois il y a des jours de canicule. L'année dernière, il y a eu une canicule en juillet. Il faisait très chaud, et il était difficile de dormir la nuit. Pendant ces journées, je suis resté à l'intérieur et j'ai bu beaucoup d'eau pour rester hydraté. En hiver, en Irlande, il fait souvent froid et humide. Il y a beaucoup de pluie, et parfois il y a du brouillard. J'aime bien l'hiver aussi, surtout quand il neige un peu. C'est rare, mais c'est toujours un moment magique.
In general, I like it when the weather is nice and sunny. When it's nice out, I can go outside and take a walk in the park. In summer, it's often hot, but sometimes there are heatwave days. Last year, there was a heatwave in July. It was very hot, and it was difficult to sleep at night. During those days, I stayed indoors and drank a lot of water to stay hydrated. In winter, in Ireland, it's often cold and damp. There is a lot of rain, and sometimes there is fog. I like winter too, especially when it snows a little. It's rare, but it's always a magical moment.
