How it's used
Refers specifically to the weather condition rather than just the season. While it functions as a noun, it is frequently used in a descriptive way to set the scene for an activity. It carries a slightly more casual, conversational tone compared to the more formal weather report term 高溫.

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe the season of summer itself, for which 夏天 is the correct term. It describes the state of the weather on a particular day or period, not the time of year.
