Bedeutung
To describe the current weather condition of sunshine.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In Brazil, 'Está sol' is almost a default state in many regions. People often use it to express relief after a brief tropical rain. In Portugal, the sun is highly valued, especially in the winter. 'Apanhar sol' (to catch some sun) is a common activity. In Luanda, the sun can be very strong. 'Está sol' often implies it's time to stay in the shade. The islands are known for constant sun. The phrase is often used in tourism slogans.
Drop the 'E'
In casual Brazilian speech, always say 'Tá sol' to sound like a local.
No 'It'
Never try to translate the 'It' from 'It is sunny'. Portuguese doesn't need it.
