I'm on holiday in Chambéry and get chatting about the weather with the waiter at a local café.
Hakim talks to waiter. - Il fait gris aujourd'hui, hein ?
- It's dull today, eh?
- Ah oui, c'est pas terrible.
- Ah yes, it's pretty awful.

- Il fait toujours ce temps au printemps ?
- Is the weather always like this in Spring?
- Non, d'habitude il fait plus beau.
- No, usually it's nicer.

- Il y a beaucoup de vent ici.
   C'est normal dans cette région.

- It's very windy here. It's usual in this region.
- Ah oui ?
- Oh really?

- Et en été ? Il fait quel temps ?
- And in Summer? What's the weather like?
- Normalement il fait très chaud.
- Usually it's very hot.

- Mais regardez, il neige pas loin d'ici, dans les Alpes.
- But look, it's snowing not far from here, in the Alps.
- On est mieux ici alors !
- We're better off here, then!
