意思
Describes the outdoor temperature as being high or warm.
文化背景
British people use weather talk as a social 'icebreaker.' Saying 'It's hot outside' is often a way to be polite rather than a literal report of the temperature. In the Southern US, 'It's hot outside' is often followed by a comment on the humidity. It's a shared cultural struggle during the long summer months. Australians are used to extreme heat. 'It's hot outside' might be considered an understatement, and they might use more colorful language like 'It's a scorcher.' In international business meetings, mentioning that 'It's hot outside' in your current city is a common way to start a video call and build rapport with colleagues in other time zones.
Add 'isn't it?'
To sound more like a native speaker, add 'isn't it?' at the end to invite the other person to agree.
Avoid 'It makes'
Remember that 'It makes hot' is the most common mistake for speakers of Romance languages. Stick to 'It is'.
