XavierGars - seems like EVERY word in Italian can be used 5 different ways. This is my 1st sentence for today and already my head hurts. Thanks for the info.

It's kind of like that in English - we have tempo, temporary, and temporal (all of which relate to time), while of course temperature relates to heat/weather.
Yes, as in this very popular italian saturday night talk show.

On which an incredible percentage of the guests not only have a book to promote but also thrust it at the screen in a way not seen on brit tv since 1950/60s soap powder ads.
In Greek, the word καιρός (weather) is used in the opposite way... we can say "είναι πολύς καιρός" (it is a long weather) when we want to say "it is a long time". Also we can say "έχεις καιρό;" (do you have weather?) meaning "do you have time?".
BUT we never use the word χρόνος (time) to mean the weather :)
That's 'What's the weather like today'. Or slightly more literally What weather doing today? Com'è il tempo oggi? is How is the weather today. All of these are good questions about the weather and in gist are fairly interchangable, but if you're trying to learn a language then knowing how they best map is a good thing.

Com (how) 'è (is) il (the) tempo (weather) oggi (today) ? (?)
the very definition of an idiom?

In this section of Adverbs a couple of sentences back I translated 'How is the weather today?' as 'Come fa il tempo oggi?'. This was marked incorrect and I was given 'Come va il tempo oggi?' Now here we have 'Come'e il tempo oggi?' Please can a native Italian let me know the best answer for this. Many thanks in advance.

In English you would not say,'How is the weather ?'it would be more natural to say, 'What is the weather like ?'This was marked wrong.

"...il tempo di oggi." it's unlikely that you can know what is 'more commonly said' by 2 billion people.
