The weather

We are studying the weather. Remember we can use two questions; they are very similar but not the same:

• What's the weather like? ---- You use this to describe the weather: It's dry, with little rain and very sunny.
• How's the weather? ---- You say a short comment: It's cold today

However, you can see both sentences when talking about the weather.
