¡Hace mucho calor!

It's very hot!

Commenting on the weather.

🌍

문화적 배경

In the south (Andalusia), the heat is so extreme that cities like Seville are called 'The Frying Pan of Europe'. People stay indoors until 8 PM. In northern Mexico, heat is often described as 'seco' (dry). People use 'hace calorón' to emphasize the intensity. In Buenos Aires, the heat is often 'húmedo' (humid). People say 'No es el calor, es la humedad' (It's not the heat, it's the humidity). Heat is constant. Social life happens in the 'fresco' of the evening on porches or 'malecones'.

⚠️

The 'H' is Silent

Never pronounce the 'H' in 'hace'. It should sound like 'ah-seh'.

🎯

Use 'Mucho', not 'Muy'

Always remember: Hace MUCHO calor. If you say 'muy', people will understand you, but it sounds very 'gringo'.
