Marocká mäta a nechtík lekársky popošli vďaka lejakom.

Lejak...sounds more like a downpour :-) ?

No need to apologise, Katarina!

Thank you, Melchi! Hi, Klahanie, I thought shower is a strong short rain, pouring water.....isn´t it?

The word Shower represents light short rain. Downpour is strong (usually short) rain. Something we used to call lijak when I was young.
Was it sunny today? It is 9AM here but probably late afternoon in Slovakia?

Thank you very much, Klahanie. Now I see the teachers taught me wrong things all my life :-) Sounds logical.
Yes, it is evening actually. Six o´clock.

Your English is very good Katarina.

Exceptionally so, Katarina!

We English have so many ways of describing weather. Especially rain!! And now my daughter is living in Scotland, I have learned even more words - like "smirr". Which is a fine drizzle that is only just raining. And, of course, we find it all endlessly fascinating! (And "drizzle" is rather a good word as well!)

Not forgetting mizzle (which is a combination of mist and drizzle)

Yes, that's a good one. And when I was a child, I was always fascinated by "sea fret" which my grandparents in the NE called a sea mist. I don't know whether it was a local term or not.

That's not one I have come across. But down in Devon, he had "It's getting dimpsy" which meant it was twilight and the light was fading.

That is rather pretty - like "gloaming".

Poor Katarina will wonder what we are talking about. I did say that we find weather-related matters fascinating!

I think the eskimos have about 35 words for snow. We have almost as many for rain :-)

Lol! Quite right, too. Fascinating stuff! ?

What a discussion I have under my photo, when it is abour rain. Am I on English webpage? Lol.
I know, nations created lot of words for weather. I love scirocco (pronounced by Spanish as shiroco), since I read P. Coelho novel Alchemyst and later spend holiday on Sicily. My favourite wind.

And how about a Chinook......a very warm wind on the west side of Canadian Rockies??? This wind can raise winter temperature from below -20 °C to as high +20 °C in couple of hours . Lasts only few hours , melts all the snow ...you can have lunch on patio ....and then in the same day it will go back to -20. Very bad for vegetation. I do not like wind...no matter how warm it is.
We went through it several time each winter when we worked in Calgary.
:-) Sorry Katarina to hijack your original topic.

I bet during Chinook lot of people get myocardial infarctions and migraines.
