Pronóstico del tiempo para Buenos Aires, 10 de marzo

What does “se ha pasado volando” mean in Spanish?

In this Buenos Aires weather report, the host opens by saying the first week of March “se ha pasado volando” — it flew by. “Volar” is to fly, so when a week, a weekend, or a holiday “passes flying,” it’s gone before you really noticed. People use this phrase often when they’re surprised that time went by so fast. Here it’s a warm, casual way to start the forecast and connect with you.

Spoken line: “esta primera semana de marzo se ha pasado volando” — “this first week of March has flown by.” It works for any stretch of time: - “El fin de semana se pasó volando.” — “The weekend flew by.” - “Las vacaciones se pasaron volando.” — “The holidays went by so fast.” - “El año se pasó volando.” — “The year flew by.” Usage notes: You’ll hear it most often when someone is surprised that time went quicker than they thought. You can say it about a weekend, a month, or a whole year. The “pasar” part can change form (se pasó, se ha pasado), but “volando” stays the same.
