I know certain kinds of weather are expressed with a direct verb, like:
* il pleut
* il neige
* il tonne
But there seems to be multiple ways of describing other kinds of weather, like "it's sunny." I've heard:
* il y a du soleil (which is the example in this lesson)
but also:
* c'est ensoleillé
I've heard both:
* il y a des nuages
as well as:
* c’est nuageux
Are all these versions correct? Is one preferred or in more common use than the other?Thanks!

Quelle est la différence entre ces deux expressions et pour-quoi faut-il utiliser "rencontrer" au lieu de "faire la connaissance"?
Sometimes you see India written like Inde (Informations générales sur Inde)
