Talking about the weather
To ask about and talk about the weather, we use 'impersonal' sentences:

What’s the weather like?
- Hace comes from the verb hacer (to make, to do) hacer, presente:
Hace calor.
It’s hot.
Hace sol.
It’s sunny.
Hace frío.
It’s cold.
Hace viento.
It’s windy.
- Hay comes from the verb haber haber, presente:
Hay sol.
It’s sunny (lit. There is sun).
Hay niebla.
It’s foggy (lit. There is fog).
Hay viento.
It's windy (lit. There is wind).
- Impersonal verbs:
Llueve (de llover llover, presente)
It’s raining, from the verb llover (to rain).
Nieva (de nevar nevar, presente)
It’s snowing, from the verb nevar (to snow).
Note: To talk about overcast weather, we use the participle:
Está nublado.
