LingoflyThere will be: izango da and izango dira
"There will be" in a forecast is izango, the future of izan: Igandean eguraldi ederra izango da — on Sunday the weather will be fine. For several things — izango dira: izozteak izango dira gauean — there will be frosts at night. For example: “Bihar euria egingo du Bizkaian” — Tomorrow it will rain in Biscay. A rule from the Basque course: worked out on examples, not memorized as a wording.

How the rule settles in your head
A rule is not memorized from an explanation. It is memorized from an attempt to use it and a mistake — that is why the app delivers it mixed in with words, not as a separate lesson: it resurfaces exactly where you forgot it.
