							| Asking about the weather 
 |  
							| The question is ... as simple as that!The textbooks I have seen always have  �What �s the weather like (today)? �, but it possible to hear  �How �s the weather? � - Is there any difference? 
 Can you suggest any interesting video about the weather? 
 Thanks and bye |  16 Jan 2014

							| "How �s the weather?" is a little more informal, and invites a more subjective answer. It is somewhat saying "What is your opinion of the weather?", although it could be a totally objective question, too.   Bruce |  16 Jan 2014

							| I always thought that "What �s the weather like" is more used in British English and "How �s the weather" in American English. But maybe I �m completely wrong? |  16 Jan 2014

							| No, "What �s the weather like?" is common here, too.   Bruce |  16 Jan 2014
