Meaning
Used to describe extremely hot weather that is difficult to endure.
Cultural Background
In southern Spain, heat is a major part of life, and people often use this phrase during the 'siesta' hours. In coastal areas, the humidity makes the heat feel even worse, so this phrase is used daily. During the summer in Buenos Aires, this phrase is common when the 'sudestada' wind doesn't blow. In cities like Barranquilla, heat is constant, so this phrase is a standard greeting/complaint.
Use with 'Uf'
