The Spanish uses the same word ("tiempo") for time and weather. Isn't
that cool?
Just curious.
It's not that rare as languages go. Other examples I can think of are
Serbo-Croatian ("vreme" or "vrijeme") and Irish ("aimsir").
Welsh says "amser" for time (obviously cognate to the Irish) but has a
separate word "tywydd" for "weather".
