Weather talk - First draft

This is the first draft of the "weather talk" language (before it acquired its real name).

As said in the original Reddit post:

And then I thought it would be fun to make a language with the right vocabulary and structure to speak about the past, current or incoming weather, and only that. No vocabulary about tools or objects, body parts, food or money or transports or animals/pets or the last movie you've watched or whatever.

Weather, and only weather.

Here's my early WIP (please bear with me, I don't have academic skills in linguistics, so it would contain errors ; do not hesitate to correct me if I'm wrong)
