French Weather Vocabulary and Forecast Worksheet 🌦️
From il fait beau (the weather is nice) to la canicule (the heatwave): a complete lesson on the weather, then a real international forecast to read, a capitals crossword to solve and a bulletin météo (weather report) to write over the map of France.
Students learn the everyday expressions, including the familiar ones like il pleut des cordes (it is raining heavily) and il fait moche (the weather is bad), then put them to work in reading, writing and even the future simple. A free one-page PDF with branding is available for everyone.
The three pages: lesson, international forecast, crossword and writing task
✨ What students practise
First, the lesson page: temperatures in degrees, il fait beau (nice weather), il fait bon (mild weather), le brouillard (fog), la canicule (heatwave), une éclaircie (a sunny spell), plus the spoken expressions and a note on Celsius versus Fahrenheit. Then a real international forecast table, from Le Caire to Tokyo, with true or false statements to check.
Then the crossword: which country does each city belong to? And finally the writing task: students write their own weather report over the map of France, in the present or in the future simple, with two model answers in the key.
