Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds

Use 'estar' to describe temporary weather conditions like temperature, remembering that adjectives must agree with the implied subject.

  • Use 'estar' for temporary states: 'Está quente hoje' (It is hot today).
  • Adjectives must agree with the implied subject (usually masculine): 'Está nublado' (It is cloudy).
  • Use 'está' for the third person singular: 'Está frio' (It is cold).
☀️ Está + [Adjective (masc. sing.)]

نظرة عامة

In Portuguese, you can't just translate it is directly when talking about the weather. The language requires you to be more specific about permanence versus condition. This is where the verb estar becomes essential.
Estar is used to describe temporary states, conditions, or locations. Since weather is, by its nature, constantly changing, estar is the primary verb you'll use to describe what's happening outside your window right now.
The core principle is that estar paints a picture of a temporary state. Think of it as a snapshot. When you say Está quente (It is hot), you're commenting on the condition of the weather at this particular moment or on this particular day.
This contrasts with the verb ser, which describes inherent, permanent characteristics. For example, you would say O deserto é seco (The desert is dry) because dryness is a defining, long-term feature of the desert. But to describe a specific dry day in a typically humid place, you'd use Hoje está seco (Today it is dry).
Mastering this distinction is a fundamental step toward sounding natural in Portuguese. For an A1 learner, using estar for weather is a high-impact skill. It unlocks the ability to engage in small talk, a universal social ritual, by accurately commenting on the day's atmospheric conditions.
The expression is impersonal, meaning the subject (it) is implied by the verb form, simplifying the structure for immediate use.

3rd Person Plural Vocês / Eles / Elas estão Eles estão no Brasil. They are in Brazil.

كيف تعمل هذه القاعدة

At its core, this pattern uses estar as a copular verb, also known as a linking verb. Its job is to connect an implied subject (the weather) to a predicate adjective that describes it. The structure is beautifully simple because Portuguese, as a pro-drop language, doesn't require an explicit subject pronoun when the context is clear.
The verb form está is sufficient to imply it is.
The underlying grammatical sentence is: [O tempo] + está + [adjetivo].
  • [O tempo] (The weather) is the implied subject.
  • está is the verb, conjugated for the singular subject.
  • [adjetivo] (adjective) is the description of the temporary state.
For example, in Está ensolarado (It is sunny), ensolarado is an adjective describing the current state of the weather. A crucial point of grammar here is adjective agreement. In Portuguese, adjectives must typically agree in gender and number with the nouns they modify.
However, in these impersonal weather expressions, the implied subject (o tempo or o clima) is masculine singular. Therefore, the adjective also takes its default masculine singular form.
Many weather adjectives are variable and end in -o:
  • nublado (cloudy)
  • chuvoso (rainy)
  • ventoso (windy)
Other common weather adjectives are invariable, meaning they have only one form for both masculine and feminine. These often end in a consonant or -e:
  • quente (hot)
  • frio (cold - this one ends in 'o' but is used for both genders in other contexts; here it follows the masculine singular rule)
  • fresco (cool/fresh)
  • agradável (pleasant)
So, you say Está quente and Está frio by default. This simplifies things greatly for A1 learners, as you don't have to worry about changing the adjective's ending in this specific context.
