Predicting the Weather
When talking about current states, we use the verb vera (to be). To talk about what the weather will be like in the future, use verða (to become / will be).
For singular subjects, the form is verður.
| The ski slope is by the hotel, but it will be closed tomorrow. | Skíðabrekkan er hjá hótelinu en hún verður lokuð á morgun. |
| The snowfall will be heavy at the ski resort tomorrow. | Snjókoman verður mikil á skíðasvæðinu á morgun. |
| The temperature will be below freezing and there will be blowing snow. | Hitinn verður undir frostmarki og það verður skafrenningur. |
Conditions and Causes
You can use verður to describe future skiing conditions (skíðafærið) based on the forecast. Connect these ideas using conjunctions like ef (if), þegar (when), or af því að (because).
| The skiing conditions will be bad because the sleet starts soon. | Skíðafærið verður slæmt af því að slyddan byrjar bráðum. |
| We use the snow machine if the snowfall becomes light. | Við notum snjóvélina ef snjókoman verður lítil. |
| The snow machine will be ready when the temperature is below freezing. | Snjóvélin verður tilbúin þegar hitinn verður undir frostmarki. |
Plural Future (verða)
If the subject is plural—like blowing snow and snowfall—the verb takes its plural form, verða (they will be). This form is identical to the infinitive.
| The blowing snow and the snowfall will be terrible today. | Skafrenningurinn og snjókoman verða hræðileg í dag. |
Beyond the Weather
The rule for using verða applies to anything that "will be" a certain way in the future, from ski passes to snowboards.
| The skiing conditions will be much better for the snowboard. | Skíðafærið verður miklu betra fyrir snjóbrettið. |
| The ski pass will be much more expensive by the ski slope. | Skíðapassinn verður miklu dýrari hjá skíðabrekkunni. |
