Weather-beaten

describes something — or sometimes even someone — that has been damaged, worn, or visibly changed by years of exposure to harsh weather like wind, sun, rain, or snow.

Examples:

1-  The weather-beaten house on the cliff had lost its color, but it had so much character.
2- Her weather-beaten face showed years of working under the sun, and a kind of wisdom no book could teach.

Hello and welcome back to Daily English — the podcast where we explore real, expressive English that speaks to your life. Today’s word is: weather-beaten.  Say it with me: weather-beaten. Let’s see if you can guess what it means from these clues:

 A small wooden boat that’s been through years of storms, salt, and sun — and you can see every mark.. A fisherman with deep lines on his face and rough hands — each wrinkle tells a story of working under the open sky. Can you picture it?

What does weather-beaten mean? Weather-beaten describes something — or sometimes even someone — that has been damaged, worn, or visibly changed by years of exposure to harsh weather like wind, sun, rain, or snow.

It’s often used for buildings, objects, or even people’s appearances. And emotionally, it can carry a feeling of resilience — something or someone that’s been through a lot, but still standing.

Examples: The weather-beaten house on the cliff had lost its color, but it had so much character.
He wore a weather-beaten jacket he’d had since his mountain-climbing days — full of holes, but full of memories too.
Her weather-beaten face showed years of working under the sun, and a kind of wisdom no book could teach.

Your Turn: Have you ever been to a place that felt beautifully weather-beaten — a cottage, a boat, or even a face that seemed to carry time and survival in every line? Don’t forget that you can share your stories, ideas in the comments section.
