Reading a weather forecast
Am Nachmittag kann es regnen.
Connect forecast details to a time and place and distinguish a possibility from a certainty.
A forecast describes expected weather, not a guaranteed event. Es kann regnen means rain is possible. Wahrscheinlich means probably; vielleicht means perhaps. Check whether a statement refers to morning, afternoon or evening and which place it describes. Am Morgen sonnig, später Regen does not mean sunshine all day. Wärmer and kälter compare temperatures; weniger Wind compares the amount of wind. If a plan depends on weather, preserve the condition when you pass on the message. These are fictional language tasks, not live forecasts or outdoor safety advice. For an actual outing, use current local information.
