How do you describe weather? If it's hot do I say"fitrr som Lu" or is there a different way of saying it or is there no official way of saying today is hot/cold/windy

There's no official way. But that sounds perfect (almost: fìtrr, not fitrr).

Since fìtrr is an adverb - it is about the time space in which the verb takes place, so it modifies the verb - it can just be thrown into the sentance. And you're right about using just "som lu". There's no reason to use a dummy 'it is hot' like in english - the it is merely there because English doesn't allow deletion of subjects, as Na'vi does.

Sounds good to me.

It certainly isn't wrong, personally though I prefer deriving weather verbs as si verbs, but that's almost certainly part of my innate desire to match na'vi onto Spanish. :D
