Quick tips: how to say it's hot

Zach McLaughlin

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?
