LingoflyWeather in forecasts: the impersonal and que + subjuntiu
The weather does without a doer: fa fred, plou, neva. For example: “Demà farà sol a tota la costa” — Tomorrow it will be sunny along the whole coast. A rule from the Valencian course: worked out on examples, not memorized as a wording.
How it works
The weather does without a doer: fa fred, plou, neva.
About the past and the certain one speaks straight: Ahir va ploure tot el dia — yesterday it rained all day.
A forecast is about what is not yet. After "que" of doubt or fear the verb changes form: Tinc por que demà ploga — I'm afraid it will rain tomorrow. És possible que neve al Pirineu — it may snow in the Pyrenees.
The forms come from the same verbs: ploga (ploure), neve (nevar), faça fred (fer). A confident promise goes in the simple future: Demà farà sol.
Table

| faça fred / hi haja gelades | fer and haver-hi in the subjunctive | que faça fred |

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.
