ਮੌਸਮ ਦੇ ਸ਼ਬਦ

In Punjab the weather is not small talk, it is the news: rain decides the crop, fog stops the roads, and the summer heat shapes the whole day. The words on this page are the ones Punjabis reach for when they look at the sky, from the first monsoon clouds to the dust storms of May. Each links to its full Kosh page, and the seasons pair with the months in the Punjabi numbers guide.

How to use these words

Weather talk in Punjabi starts with today: ਅੱਜ ਮੌਸਮ ਕਿੱਦਾਂ ਹੈ? (ajj mausam kiddan hai?), how is the weather today? The answers use the words on this page directly: ਅੱਜ ਮੀਂਹ ਪੈ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ (ajj meeh pai reha hai), it is raining today, or ਬਹੁਤ ਗਰਮੀ ਹੈ (bahut garmi hai), it is very hot. Learn the pattern once and every word on this page slots into it.

The seasons carry the farming calendar with them. ਬਰਸਾਤ (barsaat) is when the paddy goes in, ਸਰਦੀ (sardi) is saag and mustard season, and the ਹਨੇਰੀ (haneri) of late spring tells everyone the wheat is nearly ready. The farming words page picks the story up from there.
