Adjective of "vent"

Question

Hello, I was wondering if "venteux" is accepted as an adjective that you can use with "le temps est + adjective"

Hi Nhu,
I would not use 'venteux' to talk about the weather.
You can say, 'Il vente' ( like:  il pleut or il neige ) but it is very formal.
Il fait du vent 
or even,
il y a du vent aujourd'hui 
is also possible ...
'Venteux' is used as an adjective to talk about something which is 'subject to wind'.
e.g.
Cette plage /cette saison est très venteuse = This beach/this season  is very windy
Les haricots sont venteux = Beans give you wind ( flatulence) 
Hope this helps!

Les haricots sont venteux is the funniest thing I've learned in French in a while. Ha! Merci.
