Cultural Tip
In most Spanish‑speaking countries the impersonal verb hacer is the default for weather (hacer frío, hacer calor). For wind you can also hear 'soplar' (e.g., "sopla mucho viento"). Remember that "viento" can be qualified as "brisa" (breeze) on the coast, which sounds less intense. Using "suele" signals that you are talking about a regular, recurring pattern rather than a one‑off event.
