Questions & Answers about Если на улице будет холодно, я надену тёплый свитер.
That is a very common question.
In Russian, after если (if), it is normal to use the future tense when you are talking about a real future possibility:
- Если на улице будет холодно... = If it is / will be cold outside...
So Russian does not follow the same rule as English here. English usually avoids will in an if-clause, but Russian does not.
Compare:
Если будет дождь, мы останемся дома.
If it rains / if there is rain, we’ll stay home.Если я устану, я лягу спать.
If I get tired, I’ll go to bed.
So будет is completely natural and correct.
