Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking regions, talking about the weather is a common ice‑breaker. When you ask about a storm, people often respond with the exact forecast time or give practical advice (e.g., 'lleva paraguas'). In informal settings you can drop the formal '¿Va a venir…?' and simply say '¿Lloverá?' if rain is the main concern.
