Hello,

Could you please tell me what the difference between ''tomorrow is going to be too hot everywhere and it is going to be too hot everywhere tomorrow is?

Thanks.

I can't see any difference. However, they are both rather unnatural things to say as I can't imagine any circumstances when tomorrow is going to be so hot everywhere in the world that it can be described as "too hot everywhere". Also, "too hot" is rather subjective.

Let's forget 'too hot everywhere'.

I guess your question is about the position of 'tomorrow'.

It can go at the beginning or end of a sentence, without any significant difference in meaning.

'Tomorrow we will go swimming.'

'We will go swimming tomorrow.'

yes, i agree with you.
The adverb Tomorrow, can go at the beginning or end of a sentence, with no difference in meaning.

I can imagine a TV weather forecaster saying that.

I don't think they would keep their job for long if they did.

In fact, at least in Spain, weather forecasters say things like that - with heat waves bringing temperatures well over 40ºC in some regions. So, when they are referring to those specific regions, they are likely to say "Tomorrow it's going to be too hot everywhere in Andalusia" (random example) followed by something like "so be sure to drink a lot of water and stay indoors between one and six pm, when it is the hottest".

Saying "too hot everywhere in Andalucia" makes all the difference. As I said in my original reply, saying simply "it will be too hot everywhere" would be nonsense and that was my point about that particular sentence. It's still the case that "too hot" is somewhat subjective. I have friends still living in Madrid who are currently loving the mid-40s temperatures!

That's probably because their inner thermostat is not working properly ;-). I like the summer better than the winter, but I find such temperatures hardly bearable.

I think it's more to do with the fact that many of them are British and having a summer of any description is still a novelty for them, even it is ridiculously hot! The first August I spent there, when temperatures on the balcony of my flat hit 47 degrees was an experience. Yes, for me, it was too hot, but it was better than three months of British drizzle, cloud and misery! ;-)

I can imagine a TV weather forecaster saying that.

I would interpret that as meaning everywhere in the country or region being discussed and not the world.

I experienced 50 degrees and though my brain was going to boil. ;-)
