Weather without a person: garmi hai, baarish ho rahi hai
No "it is raining" with an empty it: here the rain simply is — baarish hai — or is happening — baarish ho rahi hai. The heat is garmi, the cold is thand, and both are stated plainly, with hai at the end. For example: “صبح ٹھنڈ ہے، دوپہر کو دھوپ” — In the morning it is cool, after midday sun. A rule from the Urdu course: worked out on examples, not memorized as a wording.
How it works
No "it is raining" with an empty it: here the rain simply is — baarish hai — or is happening — baarish ho rahi hai. The heat is garmi, the cold is thand, and both are stated plainly, with hai at the end.
No impersonal turn and no dummy subject: the weather word is the subject, hai the verb, and the phrase is complete. Garmi hai, lekin shaam thandi hoti hai — it is hot, but the evening tends to be cool.
The ongoing weather takes the reha frame you know: baarish ho rahi hai — the rain is happening now. Forecast and small talk are built on exactly these three frames.

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.
