Grammar
rainy/ raining snowy/snowing
Hi
When we are answering to the question "What's the weather like today?" we say "It's sunny/ it's cloudy / ..." but wen it rains or snows we can say "It's rainy or it's raining" and "It's snowy or it's snowing".
It's raining / snowing means that it's happening at that moment.
Question:
Is there any difference between it's rainy and it's raining? Can you explain it?
Thanks

So
when we say "it's sunny/ cloudy" it describes the whole day.
Is there any sentence that means It's sunny/cloudy but with the meaning "right now"?
Thanks.

Hi,
So
when we say "it's sunny/ cloudy" it describes the whole day. When we mean the whole day, we very often say 'It's a sunny day'.
Howver, it depends a fair bit on the context. Consider this example.
A: Look out of the window and tell me what the weather is like, right now.
B: It's sunny.
