vetero

Vetero is the state of the sky over a few hours or days; the long-run climate of a place is klimato, and mixing the two is the one real trap here. Ask about it with kia estas la vetero, using kia for what sort rather than kio. A forecast is a veterprognozo and a weathervane a veterflago. Beware the near-miss with vetero and veturi, to travel by vehicle: the roots are unrelated, and stray letters between them produce sentences that look plausible and mean something else entirely.
