Hasst du das schwüles Wetter?
The article *das* forces the adjective to take a weak ending –e, which would be wrong here because there is no article.
Hasst du schwül Wetter?
Missing the adjective ending –es; the correct strong ending for accusative neuter is –es.

Cultural Tip
Talking about the weather is a classic ice‑breaker in German culture. *Schwül* is most often used in the summer months, especially in southern Germany and Austria where heat waves can feel oppressive. In formal settings you might replace *hasst* with *magst du* or *findest du* to keep the tone polite.
