Hi. If I was describing the day or night, how would you say, "It is a cold foggy night"?

Question

Accepted Answer

iI Graham,
I like: 
C'est une nuit froide et brumeuse.
Hope this helps!

Answer

Bonjour Graham,
There are a couple of possibilities with this locution:
C’est une nuit de brouillard froide 
La nuit fait froide et il y a du brouillard.
C'est une nuit qui fait froide et il y a du brouillard.
Now, I may be out in the cold (no pun intended) with these and if so, I would hope the kwiziq team provides a more suitable explanation

Bonne chance.

Answer

There is also another locution that might be more appropriate:
C'est une nuit froide et brumeuse
Like I indicated earlier, there are multiple locutions possible to explain that.  I have heard said that the French love to discuss the weather and, as such, I have noticed that there are many ways to state things about the weather, i.e. il fait. . ., il y a . . ., etc.
J'espère que ma réponse vous aiderait.
Bonne chance et bonne continuation dans vos études en français, la langue de Molière et qui a été utilisé par le monde français depuis l’époque d’Hugues Capet

Answer

A quick note on the weather,

there are generally three patterns to use:

1) Il fait beau/froid/chaud/etc.
2) Il y a du soleil, du vent, du bruillard, etc.
3) C'est ensoleillé, venteux, nuageux, etc.

Answer

But then Aurélie said (in earlier response) brumeux meant misty, not foggy.

Answer

Hi Jolie,
In fact brume and brouillard are according to weather experts the same phenomenon but with different levels of thickness and visibility.
Furthermore brouillard has no adjective, but brume does.
It is always difficult to translate accurately different weather systems from one language to another as one particular sentence or atmospheric phenomenon may not have an exact equivalent  in the other language or country so it will often be an approximation.
In countries where it snows a lot they have upwards of 50 words to describe what we generally know as sleet or snow in Europe...
