Talking about the weather: subject + adjective
Explanation
To describe the weather, put an adjective straight after the subject: 今天热 (it's hot today), 天气好 (the weather is good). There is no 是 before the adjective. Add a word for how much: 很热 (hot), 太热了 (too hot), 不冷 (not cold). 不冷不热 means neither cold nor hot. Rain takes the verb 下: 下雨 (it rains). 下雨了 means it has started to rain.
Examples
- 今天天气很好.The weather is good today.
- 昨天太热了.Yesterday was too hot.
- 今天不冷不热.Today it's neither cold nor hot.
- 下雨了.It's started to rain.

Adjective + 多了: much more
Explanation
多了 after an adjective says there's a big difference from before: 今天好多了 (today is much better). You can name just one of the two things being compared, because everyone knows the other: 今天冷多了 (it's much colder today).
Examples
- 今天好多了.Today is much better.
- 今天冷多了.It's much colder today.
- 这儿热多了.It's much hotter here.
