The summer heat has arrived, and everyone is talking about 30+ degree temperatures. So, how can you say it’s hot without using the word “hot”? Here are some other options:
Scorching: very hot
Boiling: extremely hot
Sweltering: uncomfortably hot
Blazing: very bright and hot
As you can see from their dictionary definitions, these adjectives all mean pretty much the same thing - very hot!
And what if that heat comes with humidity?
Muggy: unpleasantly warm and humid
Steamy: hot and humid
Sticky: hot and damp
Stifling: very hot and causing difficulties in breathing
So, the next time you need to complain about the heat (and we all do), why not try some new vocabulary?
