kittydesadeSome weather states are more usually described by nouns. To say: there is/will be rain, etc. you must use tá or beidh with the adverb of place 'there' and say 'is rain there' for 'It is raining.' You will hear the following on the weather forecast.
Beidh báisteach throm ann. There will be heavy rain.
Beidh ceo ann. There will be mist.
Beidh tréimhsí gréine ann. There will be sunny spells.
Beidh gaoth láidir ann. There will be strong winds.
Beidh sioc ann. There will be frost.
The noun feabhas is normally used, in combination with prepositions, instead of the corresponding verb (feabhsaíonn, improves):
Tá feabhas ar an aimsir. The weather has improved. (Lit. There is an improvement on the weather.)
Tá feabhas ort. You are better. (as regards health) (Lit. There is improvement at you.)
Tá sé ag dul i bhfeabhas. It is improving. (Lit. It is going into improvement.)
OR
Tá feabhas ag teacht air. It is improving. (Lit. An improvement is coming upon it.)
Right. That was a fairly productive weekend, some packing and picking up done, some window shopping for furniture for the house, some early voting and some going to see Avengers. Which was around as awesome as advertised, there was a lot of hype but it didn't disappoint overall. I did still kind of want to give Loki a hug. While in maximum security and ignoring everything he had to say (or chewing over it) but, give him a hug nonetheless. Tom Hiddleston you are not helping.
And now we go to the house and meet the plumber and see what there is to be seen, hope it's not that bad. And possibly take measurements for more planning of the insides of the house. Ugh, and after all that rain I'm almost afraid to see what the bathroom leak looks like, but we knew that needed fixed. I guess that'll be the second thing we tackle once we get into the house? Or maybe the first since evaluating and patching that won't take too long, whereas the heating might take longer to deal with.
I suppose I should have something to say about the Avengers film but, really, all I have to say is, it was fun and awesome and Joss does know how to do two things unquestionably well: write snappy dialogue and give an ensemble cast well-rounded treatment.
Besides, it's time to pack up and go meet the plumber anyway. Oh, and I have a question, when did I become tentative Twitterbuddies with fucking Jackie Earle Haley? The mind boggles. And squees, and jumps for joy, and so on.

Good luck with the plumber!
