CM-il-fait-beau

When it comes to describing a nice day in French, “Il fait beau” works every time. Il fait beau can describe a beautiful snowy day in winter, or a sunny summer day.
Did you notice that the French word beau is the first part of the English word beautiful? These words are obviously related and even have the same meaning.
Is it a beautiful day? Il fait beau!
