1. Sunny Weather

When the sun is out and shining, the weather is often described as ‘dhoop’ (sunshine) in Urdu. To say “It is a sunny day,” you could say:
“Aaj mausam dhoop wala hai.” (Today, the weather is sunny.)

If you want to comment on how the sun feels, you might say:
“Dhoop bahut tez hai.” (The sun is very strong.)

2. Cloudy Weather

For days when the sky is covered with clouds, the term ‘abr aalood’ is used. You can describe a cloudy day by saying:
“Aaj mausam abr aalood hai.” (Today, the weather is cloudy.)

If the clouds are particularly thick, you might add:
“Aasman par ghane baadal chhaaye huwe hain.” (Thick clouds are covering the sky.)

3. Rainy Weather

Rainy weather is often welcomed with joy in many parts of Pakistan and India. The word for rain is ‘baarish’. To say “It is raining,” you would say:
“Baarish ho rahi hai.” (It is raining.)

For a more descriptive expression, you can say:
“Tez baarish ho rahi hai.” (It is raining heavily.)

4. Windy Weather

Windy conditions are referred to as ‘hawa daar’. To describe a windy day, you might say:
“Aaj hawa bohot tez hai.” (Today, the wind is very strong.)

If the wind is particularly gusty, you could comment:
“Tez hawaein chal rahi hain.” (Strong winds are blowing.)

5. Cold Weather

During the winter, cold weather can be described using the word ‘sardi’. A simple way to say “It is cold” is:
“Mausam sard hai.” (The weather is cold.)

For expressing the chill in the air, you might say:
“Hawa mein thandak mehsoos ho rahi hai.” (The chill can be felt in the air.)

6. Hot Weather

Conversely, hot weather is described as ‘garmi’. To say “It is hot,” you could use:

If the heat is extreme, you might express it as:

7. Foggy Weather

Fog, which can cover the landscape especially in winter mornings, is called ‘dhund’ in Urdu. To describe a foggy morning, you might say:
“Subah se dhund chhaayi hui hai.” (The fog has been dense since morning.)

For a poetic touch, you might add:
“Dhund ne sab kuch dhaka hua hai.” (The fog has covered everything.)

8. Humid Weather

Humidity, which can make the heat feel even more intense, is described as ‘humi’. In expressing humidity, you could say:
“Aaj hawa mein nammi hai.” (Today, there is humidity in the air.)

To emphasize the discomfort it causes, you might express:
“Humi se kapde chipak rahe hain.” (The humidity is making the clothes stick.)
