Technically, you don't say "today's" - it is today is.

You can talk about temperature, humidity, and chance of rain. Will it be hot just because it is sunny? Not always. Will it be cloudy and gray? That makes a day gloomy to us. Weather touches our emotions at times. Sunny days make us happy. Is there going to be a storm? What other things do you want to talk about with the weather?

Thanks.
In Chinese, we usually put adjectives in front of sun/wind/rain, for example, big sun(sunny), cold wind, heavy rain—I’m not sure native speakers say that or not

Speak to the chance of rain, can I add percentage in front of it? For example, today has 60% chance of rain.

“U” is an extremely informal substitution of the word “you”. It’s only really used while texting casually

I just know the simplest versionway.

“Version” doesn’t fit very well here. Words like “method” or “way” would work better

For example, today was cold/sunny/windy orand the wind is strong~.

This is a bit confusing, is this a template for how you’d explain the weather?

bBut iI want to be able to use more specific details.

“I” is always capitalized in English. The rest I added to make the sentence sound better

Thanks for your detailed information.
The third sentence is what I usually say about weather.
When I think about weather, the first thing that come to my mind. But it’s quite simple and I want to add more detailed descriptions in it.

Yeah, thanks a lot

An em dash is grammatically correct here, and is used much more often than ~, which is almost never used.

Got it, so does em dash have the same meaning of blah blah blah

There are some common expressions that have something to do with the weather here in New Zealand (and perhaps other English-speaking countries as well):

1. It's pouring down (expression) = it's raining really hard.
Example: "When we got to beach, the sun was shining and then all of a sudden it just started pouring down (with rain)!"

2. "On and off" (idiom) = you could use this idiom to describe weather that changes periodically.
Example: "The weather has been on and off with rain lately". [= "intermittent rain"]

You could also use other adjectives to intensify the quality of the weather:
⯈ "strong winds" → "blasting winds"
⯈ "cold" → "freezing"
⯈ "hot" → "blistering hot"
⯈ etc.

Thank u so much for the answer! I’m so happy to got your words.
Are there any words that can describe the cold, freezing wind?
In Chinese if today’s really hot, we would like to say I’m hot to death, but I’m not sure native speakers would say that or not?

"Southerlies": extremely cold winds that blow from the south of Antarctica.
Because our country is just above Antarctica, the wind travels from there to our country. And it gets chilly really quickly!

Where I live (or perhaps in other countries), on a hot summer's day we say: "It's so hot, I could stick my head in the fridge"
This one is a classic!

Excuse me for the long wait. I hope the weather is good where you are!
