It's hot today
Explanation
English weather sentences start with "it" — a subject that fills the slot but points to nothing. For a state, use "it is" ("it's") + adjective: It's hot. It's cold. It's sunny. It's windy. For rain and snow happening now, use "it is" + -ing: It's raining. It's snowing. Add "today", "in summer" or "in winter" to say when: In summer it's hot. In winter it's cold. To ask, use "What's the weather like?" — What's the weather like today? — It's cloudy. Never drop the "it": say "It's raining", not "Is raining".
Examples
