    The verb 'ser' is not used for weather conditions; use 'fazer' instead.

  • Está fazer sol.

    Combine 'estar' with adjectives, not with 'fazer' for weather.

    Adding '-ão' changes the meaning; stick to 'sol' and 'calor'.

Cultural Tip

In Brazil, talking about the weather is a frequent ice‑breaker. The verb 'fazer' is idiomatic for weather (e.g., 'fazer chuva' – to rain). Avoid translating literally from English; you would never say 'ser sol' or 'estar calor' in Portuguese.
