Significado
Commenting on pleasant weather conditions.
Contexto cultural
Dutch people are obsessed with weather apps like 'Buienradar'. Even if it is 'lekker weer' now, they will check to see exactly when the rain starts. In Flanders, 'lekker weer' is also used, but you might hear 'schoon weer' (beautiful weather) more frequently than in the North. The first 'lekker weer' day of spring is a national event. People will sit outside in coats just to feel the first rays of sun. Complaining that it is 'lekker weer' while you are stuck inside working is a standard way to bond with colleagues.
The 'Hè' Factor
Always add 'hè' at the end if you want to sound like a local. It invites the other person to agree and keeps the conversation going.
Sarcasm Alert
If someone says this while it's hailing, they are definitely being sarcastic. Don't agree with 'Ja, heerlijk!' unless you want to be funny too.
