文化背景

In central Spain, the 'Cierzo' is a cold, dry wind. People often say '¡Qué frío!' specifically when this wind blows. In Bogotá (the 'frozen' city of Colombia), people use '¡Qué frío!' constantly. It's common to wear a 'ruana' (a type of poncho) to combat it. In Buenos Aires, the 'Sudestada' brings cold rain. '¡Qué frío!' is often followed by a complaint about the humidity. In Mexico City, mornings can be very chilly. People say '¡Qué frío!' while buying a hot 'atole' or 'tamal' from a street vendor.

Add 'hace' for weather

⚠️

Avoid 'Soy frío'

Saying 'Soy frío' means you have a cold, unfeeling personality. Unless that's what you mean, stick to 'Tengo frío'.
