Idiom workout: the weather

Idioms are an essential part of the English language and being able to use them correctly and naturally in conversation demonstrates a deeper awareness of the language and will definitely boost your lexical score in the IELTS speaking test.

The idioms presented in this video are all related to the weather - a favourite topic for making small talk in the UK.


Do you know any more idioms that have a weather theme?

For example:

to be/feel under the weather = to feel less than 100% / to feel a bit ill

“I don’t think I’ll go out tonight. I’m feeling a bit under the weather

As for some background information, I required a minimum band score of 6.0 in each category or a combined CLB of 7 for my immigration requirements to Canada using the Express Entry system.

I have found iPassIELTS website to be extremely helpful and well-structured with ample amount of review materials, sample answers and top tips all applicable for all 4 sections.
The IELTS 7+ course definitely helped me to achieve an overall band score of 7.5! I strongly recommend anyone requiring IELTS to pursue this course, its best value indeed. The website is indeed a one-stop shop for your IELTS needs.

As a result of the global effects of the Covid pandemic, several centres for IELTS exam were closed. Unlimited access to all courses were given as a result of Covid-19. This was very kind of iPassIELTS to have this feature available for course participants. This certainly resulted in me having more time to prepare adequately for my general training exam.

A special shout out to Nigel, my assigned tutor for the speaking lessons. He was very much accommodating, gave excellent feedback & tips and made me feel very comfortable. I would definitely recommend anyone seeking IELTS training to consider iPassIELTS as your No.1 choice!

My IELTS General Training Results: Listening – 8.5, Reading – 6.5, Writing – 7.0, Speaking – 7.5. Overall Band Score – 7.5. CLB – 8.
