Questions & Answers about El clima es fresco en octubre y noviembre.

Why are octubre and noviembre not capitalized?
Unlike in English, the months of the year are not capitalized in Spanish unless they appear at the very beginning of a sentence.
Why is it el clima instead of la clima?
Even though it ends in the letter a, clima is a masculine word, which is why it uses el. Many Spanish words that end in -ma (like el problema and el idioma) are masculine because they originally came from Greek.
How do we say that something happens "in" a month?
You simply use the word en right before the month. It translates exactly to the English word in, just like in the phrase en octubre y noviembre.
I learned that weather uses the verb hacer, like hace frío. Why does this use es?
You use hace to talk about how the weather feels right now. But here, the sentence is describing a general, permanent fact about el clima (the climate) during those specific months. Because it is describing a basic characteristic, we use es.
