뜻
Commenting on the hot weather or temperature.
문화적 배경
In southern Spain, the heat is so central to life that there are specific names for hot winds like the 'Terral' in Málaga. People often use the phrase '¡Qué flama!' as a slang alternative to '¡Qué calor hace!'. In many parts of Mexico, the 'canícula' refers to the 40 hottest days of the year. During this time, the phrase '¡Qué calor hace!' is heard constantly, often followed by a mention of wanting a 'cerveza bien fría'. In Buenos Aires, the heat is often very humid. People will say 'No es el calor, es la humedad' (It's not the heat, it's the humidity) as a standard follow-up to '¡Qué calor hace!'. In the Caribbean, heat is a year-round reality. The phrase is often used with a rhythmic, musical intonation. You might also hear 'Está fuerte el sol' as a common variation.
The 'H' is Silent
Never pronounce the 'h' in 'hace'. It should sound like 'ah-say'.
Avoid 'Es calor'
This is the most common mistake for English speakers. Remember: Weather 'makes', it doesn't 'is'.

Accompany the phrase with a hand-fanning motion or a puff of air for maximum native effect.

12 질문Yes! Dropping the 'hace' is very common and sounds very natural in casual conversation.
'Caliente' is an adjective. 'Hacer' requires a noun like 'calor'. It's just the way the grammar works!
It is used in some dialects and in older literature, but in modern standard Spanish, 'el calor' (masculine) is the correct form.
You can say 'Está empezando a hacer calor' or 'Se está poniendo caluroso'.
'Calor' is the temperature/sensation; 'clima' is the general climate of a region.
No, for spicy food use 'pica' or 'está picante'.
Yes, it is a universal phrase understood from Spain to Argentina.
Use the imperfect: 'Hacía calor'.
It's a specific type of heat—stifling, humid, and often without wind.
No, that would be 'Él/Ella tiene calor' (He/She feels hot).
It's neutral. It's fine for any situation, but it's an exclamation, so it's inherently a bit informal.
The opposite is '¡Qué frío hace!' (How cold it is!).
