Phrase Request – How to Ask About the Current Degrees of the Weather?

phrase-request

What's the natural way to ask about degrees of the weather?

Can I ask: "What's the temperature?" or "What's the weather like now?" and people will understand I'm asking the degrees?

Asking "How many degrees of Celsius are now?" or "How many degrees are now?" are natural? Or maybe another way to ask appropriately what I want.

Best Answer

Weather doesn't have degrees, it has states and conditions.

If you ask what the weather is like, you'll likely get a response similar to the following:

It's (windy, raining, sunny, snowing, hot, cold).

It would be unusual to get a response with the actual temperature unless it's something particularly noteworthy:

"You wouldn't believe how hot it is! It's up to 35°C / 95°F!"


If the temperature is specifically what you want to know, then you should ask about it specifically:

"What's the temperature?"
