Cultural Tip

In Italy people often check the "previsione del tempo" before heading out, especially in regions with rapidly changing weather like the Alps or coastal areas. "Previsione" can also be used for sports scores or stock market outlooks, so context matters. When speaking with older Italians, a slightly more formal tone (using "Qual è la previsione, per favore?") is appreciated.
