Por fin un poco de sol!
Do not write "por" as "por" with a space before the exclamation; the phrase must start with the opening inverted exclamation mark.
¡Por fin muy un poco de sol!
Avoid adding "muy" (very) before "poco" because it changes the meaning to "a lot of sun".

Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries, talking about the weather is a common ice‑breaker. Saying "¡Por fin un poco de sol!" conveys a relaxed, informal tone. Avoid using it in formal settings unless you’re commenting on a public event like a festival that was delayed because of rain.
