有关气候CLIMATE的词汇

There are many adjectives used to describe the weather. In polite conversation and greetings, a brief reference to the weather is commonplace. People often use words like pretty or dreary to describe the weather on a particular day, instead of more specific adjectives like breezy微风, damp潮湿 or sweltering酷热难当. Adjectives related to weather can be used to describe temperature, humidity, precipitation and wind conditions

Temperature 温度

One of the main gauges used to evaluate weather conditions is the temperature. The temperature is posted publicly in many places, as information people like to have it available. Banks often post the temperature on a sign outside the bank. When we discuss the temperature, we use adjectives to describe the heat and the cold. Some words used to describe it include:

hot炎热,

baking烘烤,

scorching酷热灼热,

mild温和,

warm温暖

freezing冰冷,

chilly冷,

cool,

cold,

frigid寒冷,

icy冰冷,

frosty霜冻的,

Precipitation 降水

Snow, rain, sleet and hail are forms of precipitation. Weather conditions are often described in terms of precipitation. People plan outdoor events based on the probability of precipitation. Common adjectives used to describe precipitation include:

wet,

showery阵雨的,

misty多雾,

drizzly下毛毛雨,

icy,

stormy,

messy,

cloudy and slushy融雪.

Humidity 湿度

Even though humidity is something we feel and don't see, people still discuss it as if it were visible. Anyone who has ever spent time in New Orleans or Savannah, Georgia, during the summer knows how strong the impact of humidity is on the body. It weighs the body down like wet clothes. Adjectives used to describe humidity include:

balmy温暖惬意的,

damp潮湿的,

humid湿热的,

sultry闷热的,

muggy闷热潮湿的,

steamy潮湿闷热水汽多 and wet.

When people joke about a dry heat feeling cooler than a humid hot day（干热要比湿热来得更舒服）, they are referring to how much hotter a humid day feels. While it is a joke, there is some truth to it.

Wind Conditions 风况

Wind is described by speed. Wind speed is reported on the weather report. While sailors and golfers are always interested in this bit of weather information, it is also helpful to know when extreme weather conditions involving wind occur. Tornadoes and hurricanes involve emergency situations where the force of the wind threatens life and property. Wind is hard to ignore. Adjectives used to describe the wind are

strong 强烈,

threatening 危险的,

windy 多风的 and stormy 暴风的.

On occasion, the terms

tornado-like 像龙卷风一样 and

hurricane-strength 像台风一样强烈

are used as adjectives to describe forceful winds.
