Because recently it snows so heavily, today we learn something about the weather

1. What's the weather like today? Or how is the weather today?
今(jīn)天(tiān)天(tiān)气(qì)怎(zěn)么(me)样(yàng)？
(今(jīn)天(tiān) = today, 天(tiān)气(qì) = weather, 怎(zěn)么(me)样(yàng) = how)

2. It is raining outside.
外(wài)面(miàn)正(zhèng)在(zài)下(xià)雨(yǔ) 
（外(wài)面(miàn) = outside; 雨(yǔ) = rain; 下(xià)雨(yǔ) make the none to be a verb; because in Chinese we do not change the verb to show the tense of the sentence, so we need a kind of word to give us the information, such as 正(zhèng)在(zài) stand for the Present tense, 曾(céng)经(jīng) stand for the past tense）
3. 雪(xuě) = snow

    晴(qíng) = sunning

    多(duō)云(yún)= cloudy
  （actually 云(yún) = cloud, but we usually say them together like 多(duō)云(yún)）
