A question tag needs a question mark; otherwise it reads as a statement.

Cultural Tip
Talking about the weather is a classic French small‑talk topic. In France, people often use the impersonal 'Il fait' followed by an adjective (beau, chaud, froid, etc.). Adding 'super' or 'très' makes the comment informal and friendly. Avoid overly formal phrasing in casual conversations, especially with peers.
