What's the weather like tomorrow?

Which one would you say or which else would you say if you would like to ask someone’s opinion about weather tomorrow?

I see sentence #1 and #2 in my books once in a while,but I would, personally, like to say “How’s the weather tomorrow?” What do you think about those two examples?

When I saw the questions I thought why you had missed “How will be the weather tomorrow”?. But you have that in place also. So , I hope Torsten will pour more light on this.

Personally i feel the usage or the very question , “whats the weather tomorrow ?” is quite impractical. what ever be the technology behind, its always a prediction.

the question " what’s the weather like tomorrow" sounds more convincing.

Its my opinion, please guide me if i am wrong.

Hi, Samrat,

Thanks for stopping by.

I didn’t mean to ignore the structure of “How…?” I’d like to ask the first set of “What…(like)?” One my American friends said he doesn’t like my sentences. I don’t know if it is a personal preference or not, could be. It’s just because I saw this structure a lot in my textbooks and I think it is right whereas a native speaker doesn’t think so.

Let’s wait and see. And again, thanks for your comment.

I agree with you that “What’s the weather tomorrow” sounds a but odd to my ear,too. I would use “how” instead of “what” in that case. I’ll nail on this thread.

Hi Tzyli, Samrat and Drahul,

Many thanks for taking such an active part in discussing the peculiarities of the English language.
As for me - I think What will the weather be like tomorrow? sounds good because we use What is it like? to ask about the quality or character of something.

If you say How is the weather? it sounds a bit as if you wanted to know how the weather were doing today (what mood is the weather in today?)

Let’s see what others have to say on the weather topic…

Hello, Torsten,

In this case,I live in Taiwan and I’d like to know the quality or character of weather of your country, can I say

“What’s the weather like there?”

Torsten: “How’s the weather?”
Tzyli: “It’s fine. And there?”

How do you like it? :smiley:

Hi Tzyli,

Good morning again (I take it, it’s late night on Formosa now?),

You see, the good thing about the weather is that it always makes for in interesting topic as it constantly changes :slight_smile:

Yes, if you ask What’s the weather like in your country ? my answer is The weather here is as good as anywhere in the world because we would have to define good weather.

Anyway, I’m glad you have found our website - we usually check messages on the forum several times a day - no matter what weather it is there on the Internet or what Jailbird says :wink:

Talk to you soon,
Torsten

Hi! You think properly Torsten.

Hello, Torsten,

You are hilarious! :smiley: Actually I found this website a couple of months ago but I didn’t jump to the forum quick. I like most of your tests and some articles are very good and useful. I use them as my teaching aids once in a while. Thank you very much, Torsten and hmmm the other one, Alan.

So you would consider ‘how’s the weather there?’ inappropriate or odd because it is as if someone is asking how the weather is going. Am I right?

I love your witty pun. Good one. :arrow: Thumbs-up

Dear Tzyli,

Many thanks for your inspiring feedback - as for the tests, they are all written by Mr Alan Townend and it was my job to bring Alan and Slava together so now lots of people can benefit from Alan’s experience and expertise.
I’m very glad that you use our materials from time to time in your English classes over there on the beautiful island. Returning to the weather question - let’s see what Alan has to say about it. Meanwhile, I wish you a relaxing weekend with lots of enlightening moments.

Regards
Torsten

I thought it was only people living on small islands who talked about the weather! It’s certainly a popular topic here in the UK. I have a couple of suggestions:

What’s the weather going to be tomorrow?

What’s the weather doing tomorrow?

If I wanted to eat but I could not eat __ Where could menas = was not able to do__ but didnot eat means action is not done of eating.
But
I could go __ what I not under stand .

  1. action of going is done or showing possibilty that I will do it (Go)

@BeHappy Hi Helmi, welcome to our forum and many thanks for sharing the two links. I must admit I didn’t expect Google to be promoting phrases I would classify as ‘bad English’ since “What’s the weather like tomorrow” is just grammatically wrong. As for the second link you shared I couldn’t find the phrase “What’s the weather like tomorrow’ but just 'weather tomorrow” which from a grammar point of view are two completely different cases.

Let me know if this makes sense.

PS: What’ll be the weather like tomorrow in your area?
