Une leçon de météo après avoir récemment une tempête tropicale dans mon pays. Il y a 3 trois jours qu'une tempête tropicale touché mon pays.
Le vocabulaire de cette leçon est très utile.

Salut, Bejebew!
That's right: "attendre" means to wait and "s'attendre à" means to expect something to happen (nb if followed by a verb, it should be a subjunctive). Let me give you some examples, Bejebew:
"Je m'attends à ce qu'il change d'avis." I expect him to change his mind.
"Elle ne s'attendait pas à ça." She wasn't expecting that.
"Il s'attend à ce qu'elle vienne seule" He expects her to come alone.
However, you can also use "attendre" to say "to expect something" i.e. when talking about predictions, anticipations, projections.
Examples: "On attend une baisse des ventes à la fin de l'année" We expect a drop in sales at the end of the year.
"L'école attend une livraison de cahiers et de crayons demain" The school expects a delivery of notebooks and pens tomorrow.

L'été a terminé; il fait nettement plus frais maintenant. Mais attendez! L'été n'a jamais arrivé en Angleterre cette saison. On a été trompé!

Salut Pinkjeans!
Oui, l'été est terminé et il fait nettement plus frais. L'été n'est jamais arrivé en Angleterre...
Alors, il a plu tout l'été?
En France, on a été trompés/arnaqués aussi (il a plu, il a fait frais).
Il fera peut-être meilleur l'année prochaine...
