C'est venteux

Salut Janitha,

"ATTENTION:
You cannot say C'est chaud about the weather, but you can about something you touch or taste (like a cup of tea)."

I copied and pasted the above directly from the lesson that you quoted.

Given that your query is about a weather event (windy) then it looks to me that the lesson has covered the answer for you.

Bonne continuation

Jim

Why does Cécile's linked answer approve of "Il fait du vent," when this lesson frowns upon that formulation for soleil? Is it a difference of opinion between staff, or is there a common-usage difference between the two nouns?

Cécile, that it was just about "soleil" is not actually what the lesson says, which is "Il fait should always be followed by an adjective, and il y a by a noun" (which I have found repeated elsewhere). And the link you provided does not appear to be any kind of authoritative source on the matter, just random people translating a French phrase--as already written--into English (not the reverse), without addressing any of these points or whether it should have been that way in French in the first place.
