déjà
Means "already"; placed before the past participle to ask if something has happened before.
vu (voir)
Past participle of "voir" used with the auxiliary "avoir"; forms the passé composé.
un temps
"Temps" can mean "weather"; the indefinite article "un" signals a particular instance of weather.
aussi ... mauvais

✕Common Mistakes
T'as déjà été vu un temps aussi mauvais ?
The verb "voir" always uses "avoir" as its auxiliary, not "être".
T'as déjà vu un mauvais temps aussi ?
In this comparative structure the adjective follows the noun; "un mauvais temps" is correct, but "un temps mauvais" is needed only with "aussi".
As‑tu déjà vu un temps aussi mauvais ?
In casual conversation you would not say "As‑tu déjà vu…"; stick with "T'as".

Cultural Tip
Talking about the weather is a classic small‑talk topic in France. The informal contraction "t'as" is common among peers, but avoid it in formal settings or with strangers. Note that "mauvais temps" (bad weather) is the usual order, but in this comparative structure "un temps aussi mauvais" sounds natural and emphasizes the degree of badness.
