Today's Lesson
(WARM) SPELL   （暖かい）期間

Explanation

  • A warm spell is a period of warm weather.

    We can also say cold spell, dry spell, sunny spell, etc.
  • warm spell は、暖かい気候が続く期間、という意味です。

    cold spell（寒い期間）、dry spell（雨が降らない期間）、sunny spell（晴れの期間）などと言う事もできます。

examples

  1. Despite the recent warm spell, we all know it'll be a long time before spring really arrives.
  2. I love the weather here! Sure it rains a lot, but it makes the sunny spells so much nicer!
  3. This dry spell is supposed to continue until the end of the week. We should have a great harvest!

Fair weather awaits you this weekend! We're sure of it!
