意思
Stating that the temperature is high and it feels warm.
文化背景
Koreans use 'I-yeol-chi-yeol' (fighting heat with heat) by eating hot Samgyetang in summer. It is believed to balance internal and external body temperatures. The 'Iced Americano' (Ah-Ah) is the unofficial national drink of Korean summer. Even if it's freezing, many drink it, but it's mandatory when '날씨가 더워요'. Before AC, Koreans used 'Duk-seom' (windy islands) or 'Dae-cheong-maru' (open wooden porches) to stay cool. They also used 'Juk-bu-in' (bamboo wives), hollow bamboo bolsters, to sleep. Complaining about the heat is a safe, neutral topic for hierarchy-heavy workplaces. It allows subordinates and superiors to agree on something without conflict.
The 'Icebreaker' Rule
If you don't know what to say to a Korean person in July, just say '날씨가 더워요'. It works 100% of the time.
Avoid '덥어요'
Even if you forget everything else, remember the 'w' sound. It's 'Deo-wo', not 'Deop-eo'.

Use with '죽겠다'
To sound like a native, say '더워 죽겠어요' (I'm dying of heat). It's the most common way Koreans express heat.
Humidity Matters
If it's humid, use '습해요' (seup-hae-yo) along with '더워요' to be more descriptive.
