How to Say ‘It's so cold today!’ in Spain Spanish
¡Qué frío hace hoy!
keh FREE-oh AH-seh oy
[keh FREE-oh AH-seh oy]
💬 Usage Tip: Spanish talks about weather with hace, literally "it makes": hace frío, hace calor "it's hot". English uses "it's", so don't say es frío for the weather.
🇪🇸 In Spain: This is the standard opener with a neighbour or at the bakery queue. It invites a friendly grumble back, not a real conversation.
