Signification
Commenting on pleasant weather conditions.
Contexte culturel
The concept of 'Ông Trời' (Mr. Sky) is a folk personification of the heavens. When people comment on the weather, they are indirectly acknowledging this higher power. In Hanoi, people are very sensitive to the four seasons. 'Trời đẹp quá' is most often heard in Autumn (Mùa thu), which is considered the most beautiful time of the year. In the South, there are only two seasons: rainy and dry. 'Trời đẹp' usually refers to a day in the dry season that isn't too scorching hot. Commenting on the weather is a way to avoid 'directness' which can be seen as rude. It creates a buffer of politeness before discussing business or personal matters.

Watch the tone
If you say it too flatly, it sounds like a weather report. Use a rising intonation on 'quá' to show genuine appreciation.
