Marathi Weather & Season Words (हवामान)
16 Marathi weather and season words — पाऊस, ऊन, वारा, हवामान and the four seasons — with Hindi meanings, pronunciation and example sentences.
What you will learn
Sixteen Marathi words for talking about the sky: the four seasons (उन्हाळा, पावसाळा, हिवाळा, वसंत), rain, sunshine, wind and clouds, plus useful everyday words like छत्री (umbrella) and हवामान (weather itself). Each entry has Hindi and English meanings, pronunciation and an example sentence.
Weather is the safest small-talk topic in any language, and Marathi is no exception. A handful of these words — पाऊस आला, खूप ऊन आहे, वारा आहे — carry a whole conversation with a neighbour, a rickshaw driver or a colleague.
Tip: Anchor the four seasons to the Maharashtra calendar: पावसाळा (monsoon) arrives in June — the season Maharashtra talks about most.

The four seasons
उन्हाळा (summer), पावसाळा (monsoon), हिवाळा (winter), वसंत (spring). Note the -आळा ending on three of them — once you hear the pattern, the season words stop needing memorization.
Monsoon matters in Maharashtra: curriculum sentences like वर्षात पावस खूप पडतो (it rains a lot in the rainy season) from Unit 16 are the kind of line you will actually hear.
Hindi speakers: watch out for हवा
In Hindi, हवा usually means wind. In Marathi, wind is वारा — and हवा means air. The false friend is easy to trip on precisely because the word is familiar; the table below marks wind clearly as वारा.
Common mistakes
✗ Saying हवा for wind✓ वारा = wind; Marathi हवा = air
The most common false friend on this page for Hindi speakers.
✗ Using उन्हाळा to say “it is hot”✓ उन्हाळा = the summer season; heat itself is उष्णता, and sunshine is ऊन
Season name vs. weather condition — different words.
✗ थंडी for a cold (illness)✓ थंडी = cold weather; a cold (illness) is सर्दी
Hindi merges these; Marathi separates the weather from the sickness.
