How do we say “it’s sunny” in French?

I don’t know about you, but it’s lovely to see the sunshine en Angleterre today…So how do we say “it’s sunny” in French? There are two ways…

“il y a du soleil”, [eel ee ya deuw sol-ay] which literally means there is some sun, ie ‘it’s sunny”

or

“il fait beau” [eel fay bo] which means “it’s lovely weather”

Bonne journée au soleil…have a lovely day in the sun with your Petits Poussins!
