Weather Conditions
- Sunny: clear sky with plenty of sunlight
- Cloudy: sky covered with clouds, blocking sunlight
- Rainy: precipitation in the form of water droplets
- Snowy: precipitation in the form of snowflakes
- Windy: strong air movement
- Foggy: thick cloud of tiny water droplets near the ground
- Stormy: severe weather with strong winds and heavy rain or thunder
Temperature
- Hot: high temperature, above average
