Cultural Tip
In Spanish‑speaking cultures, weather talk is a common ice‑breaker. The impersonal 'hace' is preferred over 'es' for temperature. In many hot regions people will suggest 'buscar sombra' (find shade) or 'beber agua' (drink water) right after commenting on the heat. Note that in Mexico you might also hear 'Hace un calor de mil demonios' for a dramatic effect.
