Where I live in Arizona, we have a couple of strange weather phenomena. The first one is a rain that is so fine that it evaporates before it can ever reach the ground. You can see it in the sky, it looks like mist hovering up at mountain level. It’s called “verga”…doesn’t that sound like a Latin-based name?

The other phenomenon is the dust storms that sweep through here once in a while. An Arabic name is borrowed for this one…it’s called a “haboob”, coming from a word referring to dust or fine grains of sand.

Que interesante es este sujeto!

So, who can think of other wet weather expressions that you’d like to learn how to say in Spanish?
