It's hot.

'Tener calor' is a Spanish phrase directly translating to 'have heat' in English. However, it is colloquially used to express the sensation of feeling hot, similar to how in English one might say, 'I'm hot.' Unlike English, where 'hot' can be used to reference the temperature or one's personal feeling of warmth, in Spanish these are distinct: 'hace calor' describes hot weather, while 'tener calor' describes the personal sensation of feeling hot.
