Adjective of "vent"

Hello, I was wondering if "venteux" is accepted as an adjective that you can use with "le temps est + adjective"

Hi Nhu,

I would not use 'venteux' to talk about the weather.

You can say, 'Il vente' ( like: il pleut or il neige ) but it is very formal.

Il fait du vent

or even,

il y a du vent aujourd'hui

is also possible ...

'Venteux' is used as an adjective to talk about something which is 'subject to wind'.

e.g.

Cette plage /cette saison est très venteuse = This beach/this season is very windy

Les haricots sont venteux = Beans give you wind ( flatulence)

Hope this helps!

Les haricots sont venteux is the funniest thing I've learned in French in a while. Ha! Merci.
