Romania has been affected by droughts

Hello.

'In recent years, Romania has been affected by droughts, floods and hot weathers.'

Is the sentence above natural and correct?

  

Top answer

"weather" is uncountable (almost always), so "hot weathers" is incorrect. It should be "hot weather". The rest of the sentence is OK.

No. 'weathers' is not possible except with 'all'. (This is more likely in BrE than in AmE.) The postman delivers mail in all weathers. You can also write 'drought' in the singular.

Write:

In recent years, Romania has been affected by drought(s), floods, and hot weather.
