This is Lesson 3. In this episode, we will cover 4 words all related to weather: Chilly, Muggy, Balmy, and Sleet.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to check out our show notes for a link to your free IELTS vocabulary list containing these words and others, and visit IELTS.Magoosh.com for more great resources to improve your IELTS band score.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s get started.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d like to introduce you to your teacher, Eliot. He is the Magoosh IELTS expert and, here\u2019s a fun fact about Eliot: Eliot grew up in a part of the U.S. known for tornadoes and had to hide in the basement on more than one occasion.<\/p>\n<h3>Eliot Intro<\/h3>\n<p>Hello Magoosh IELTS podcast listeners, welcome to today\u2019s show. I\u2019m Eliot, the IELTS expert from Magoosh. Today, we\u2019re going to look at four words that will be useful for the Speaking section of the IELTS. It\u2019s common for questions about weather and climate to come up during the Speaking section, so we\u2019re going to go over a few good vocab words that you can use to talk about different kinds of weather.<\/p>\n<p>As always, make sure to go to the link in the show notes to get the full list of vocabulary words.<\/p>\n<p>The theme for the words in today\u2019s episode is weather, and ways to describe different types of weather.<\/p>\n<h3>Chilly<\/h3>\n<p>So let\u2019s get started. The first word on our list is chilly. So let\u2019s start with that one, okay?<\/p>\n<p>Chilly&#8230;what does chilly mean?<\/p>\n<p>Well, when describing weather, \u201cchilly\u201d means cold in a way that is uncomfortable. Chilly is similar to the word \u201ccold\u201d. However, we mostly use \u201cchilly\u201d to describe weather, or how weather makes us feel, whereas the word \u201ccold\u201d can be used to describe anything that\u2019s low in temperature.<\/p>\n<p>For example, on the first cold day of autumn, people would probably describe the weather as chilly. They may also describe themselves as chilly, if they happen to get caught outside without a jacket!<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, the word \u201ccold\u201d can be used to describe a much wider variety of things than the word chilly. When you put your leftover pizza in the refrigerator, the pizza will become cold. But we wouldn\u2019t describe the pizza as chilly. We just use chilly to talk about weather that\u2019s cold enough to make us uncomfortable.<\/p>\n<p>So, that\u2019s chilly.<\/p>\n<h3>Muggy<\/h3>\n<p>The next word is muggy.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, \u201cmuggy\u201d means very hot and humid. Like chilly, muggy is really only used to describe weather. This makes sense when you think about it, because air is the only thing that can be humid. Humid air is air that has a lot of water vapor in it. &nbsp;So for weather to be muggy, it would have to not only be hot, but also humid.<\/p>\n<p>Some climates \u2013 like the tropics \u2013 have a lot of muggy weather, while other climates \u2013 like the mountains \u2013 will almost never have weather that\u2019s muggy. And don\u2019t forget, humidity is a key part of what makes weather muggy. So weather in a desert climate probably wouldn\u2019t be muggy, because even though deserts get very hot, there typically won\u2019t be much water vapor in the air.<\/p>\n<p>Like chilly weather, muggy weather can make us uncomfortable. Most people dislike muggy weather, because when the air is muggy it can be difficult to stay cool, and you get very sticky.<\/p>\n<p>So that\u2019s muggy.<\/p>\n<h3>Balmy<\/h3>\n<p>The next word is balmy.<\/p>\n<p>Finally some good weather! Balmy means a comfortable outdoor temperature, not too hot and not too cold, usually with some gentle wind. We could also describe balmy weather as mild, or temperate.<\/p>\n<p>Although balmy weather isn\u2019t too hot, it\u2019s still warm. Just think of what it\u2019s like on a really nice day summer day, when it\u2019s not too hot, but you don\u2019t have to wear a jacket.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s no surprise that balmy weather is something that most people enjoy. For example, a lot of people choose to vacation in places where the weather is balmy, so they can enjoy spending time outside. Balmy weather is pleasant and warm, but not too hot.<\/p>\n<p>So that\u2019s balmy.<\/p>\n<h3>Sleet<\/h3>\n<p>The final word today is sleet.<\/p>\n<p>So far, all of our words in this episode have been adjectives. Adjectives are words that describe something. In this case, we have been describing weather, by talking about the weather\u2019s temperature and how it makes us feel. Sleet is different, because sleet is a noun, meaning it\u2019s a thing rather than a description.<\/p>\n<p>Sleet is a mix of snow and rain, falling together from the sky. Sleet is similar to frozen rain (which we call hail). However, sleet is not completely frozen, so it\u2019s not solid like hail. Just imagine snow mixed with water. It\u2019s very wet, icy snow, raining down.<\/p>\n<p>You wouldn\u2019t want to get caught outside without an umbrella and a warm coat when there\u2019s sleet coming down. Many people also try to avoid driving their cars when sleet has been falling, because sleet can make roads icy.<\/p>\n<p>So that\u2019s sleet<\/p>\n<p>Great!
