How is the weather like in Spanish

Once we have already explained the weird grammatical format of our very own expression of -How’s the weather like?- in another post, let’s start using it. First remember, once again:

¿QUÉ TIEMPO HACE EN BARCELONA?

WHAT WEATHER MAKES IN BARCELONA?

→ (How’s the weather like in Barcelona?)

EN BARCELONA HACE CALOR

IN BARCELONA MAKES HEAT

→ (In Barcelona the weather is hot)

Or:

HACE CALOR

MAKES HEAT

→ (Is hot)

Of course this is not the only answer that we have to express weather; let’s see them now:

◊ Note:

1. EN BARCELONA, as we said, is not the subject, so will always come introduced by the place preposition EN.
2. EN BARCELONA, as we said, does not need to be told in our answer as far as it is in the previous question, so, we know the place that we are talking about. If not so, EN BARCELONA must be told.
3. HACE is a non personal verb when we use it in weather matters, which means that the sentence will have no subject.
4. BUEN; this word is the adjective BUENO that we have already learned. When the adjective BUENO is placed in front of a noun masculine/singular, it loses the vowel O and becomes BUEN. Only when it is placed in front of the noun. This is something that we do not have to understand now, so we recommend you to learn it just the way it is. But remember that this adjective BUEN must be told. Always tell BUEN TIEMPO when expressing that THE WEATHER IS GOOD.
5. MAL; this word is the adjective MALO that we have already learned. When the adjective MALO is placed in front of a noun masculine/singular, it loses the vowel O and becomes MAL. Only when it is placed in front of the noun. This is something that we do not have to understand now, so, we recommend you to learn it just the way it is. But remember that this adjective MAL must be told. Then, always tell MAL TIEMPO when expressing that THE WEATHER IS BAD.
6. MUCHO. The  adjective A LOT OF to the noun CALOR, FRÍO or SOL can be told or not. You can use it whenever you want to emphasize and express that a place, Barcelona in this case, is very hot, not just hot.
7. TIEMPO, CALOR, FRÍO or SOL are nouns; remember so, because people tend to think, as we do in English, that we are using an adjective.

Let’s start playing already with it:

¿QUÉ TIEMPO HACE EN BARCELONA?

WHAT WEATHER MAKES IN BARCELONA?

→ (How’s the weather like in Barcelona?)

EN BARCELONA HACE MUCHO SOL

IN BARCELONA MAKES A LOT OF SUN

→(In Barcelona the weather is very sunny)

¿QUÉ TIEMPO HACE EN MOSCÚ?

WHAT WEATHER MAKES IN MOSCOW?

→ (How’s the weather like in Moscow?)

EN MOSCÚ HACE MUCHO FRÍO

IN MOSCOW MAKES A LOT OF COLD

→ (In Moscow the weather is very cold)

¿QUÉ TIEMPO HACE EN BUENOS AIRES?

WHAT WEATHER MAKES IN BUENOS AIRES?

→ (How’s the weather like in Buenos Aires?)

EN BUENOS AIRES HACE CALOR

¿QUÉ TIEMPO HACE EN COSTA RICA?

WHAT WEATHER MAKES IN COSTA RICA?
