"Bring your jacket, because the room is air-conditioned and it will be cold."
How to translate this?
Apporte ta veste, car la salle est climatisée et il va faire froid.
Is it correct to say "il va faire froid" in this situation? I know it is correct to say "il fait froid", "il fait chaud", etc., for natural outdoors weather, but I'm not sure about man-made whether like this.
I would use:
Apporte ta veste, car la salle est climatisée et il [y] fera froid.
or
… et il va [y] faire froid.
The y is optional but makes clear it will be cold in the room.
