When I list sth，is the “first，second…”pattern equal to “firstly，second…”？
such as
First，it is rainy.
Second，it is cold.
Third，you are tired.
So you had better stay at home and rest.
thanks all

"First" is much better than "firstly".
"Second" or "secondly" are both fine.
The same is true for "third" or "thirdly", though I personally prefer "third".
I also prefer "fourth", "fifth" etc. to "fourthly", "fifthly", etc.
