Commenting on the nice weather.
خلفية ثقافية
The 'Bella Giornata' is the catalyst for the 'Passeggiata'—the ritual evening stroll where Italians dress up and walk through the town center to see and be seen. In the south, a 'bella giornata' often implies a trip to the sea (il mare), even in the 'off-season' like March or October. In cities like Milan, a 'bella giornata' is often defined by the absence of 'nebbia' (fog) and the visibility of the Alps in the distance. The phrase is often used ironically in 'Commedia all'italiana' to contrast a character's personal misery with the indifferent beauty of the Italian landscape.

Add ', vero?' (right?) to the end to turn the exclamation into an easy conversation starter.
No 'Un'!
Remember: 'Che bella giornata', NOT 'Che una bella giornata'. Adding the article is a dead giveaway that you are translating from English.
