خلفية ثقافية
British people are famous for complaining about the heat as soon as it hits 25°C. It's a key part of social bonding and small talk. In the US, 'It's too hot' is often a signal to find 'AC' (Air Conditioning). Americans tend to keep indoor spaces much cooler than Europeans. Australians are more accustomed to extreme heat, so 'too hot' might only be used when it's over 35°C. They often use the term 'stinker' for a very hot day. In India, 'too hot' is often used to describe the 'Loo' (a hot, dusty summer wind). It's a matter of safety to stay indoors when it's too hot.
The 'Too' Rule
Always use 'too' when you want to complain. If you are happy, use 'very' or 'really'.
Spicy vs. Thermal
If you are at a restaurant, clarify if you mean the temperature or the spice! 'Is the soup hot?' can mean both.
