Contexto cultural
The 'Levante' is a famous strong wind in the Strait of Gibraltar. When 'hace viento de Levante', locals often stay away from the beach because the sand blows painfully. In the south of Argentina, wind is a constant part of life. Trees often grow tilted in one direction because 'hace viento' almost every day of the year. There is a famous area in Oaxaca called 'La Ventosa' where it is so windy that trucks sometimes tip over.
The 'Mucho' Rule
Always remember: if you can count it or it's a thing (like wind), use 'mucho'. If it's a feeling or quality, use 'muy'. Since wind is a thing, it's always 'mucho viento'.
Silent H
Never pronounce the 'h' in 'hace'. It should sound like 'ace' in English but with an 'ah' sound.
