The weather is an important factor in the world around us and affects us on a daily basis: what clothes we are going to wear or what plans are we going to make. That’s probably why we spend long hours predicting what the weather will be like. To take about possible weather conditions we use may or might: e.g. The weather may/might be better tomorrow.
Listen to the sentences and complete with may or might.
