‘Que tiempo hace’ is a common phrase in Spanish that translates to ‘What is the weather like?’ in English. It’s often used when someone wants to inquire about the current weather conditions or the forecast.
The phrase can be broken down into two parts: ‘que’ means ‘what,’ ‘tiempo’ translates to ‘weather,’ and ‘hace’ is a form of the verb ‘hacer,’ which means ‘to do’ or ‘to make.’ In this context, it refers to what the weather is doing or how it feels outside.
People use this expression regularly in conversations about daily plans, travel, or simply making small talk. For example, if you’re planning a picnic, you might ask, ‘¿Qué tiempo hace hoy?’ to ensure you pick a day with pleasant weather.
