Spanish Weather Small Talk: "Hace buen tiempo, ¿verdad?"

"Hace buen tiempo, ¿verdad?" means "Nice weather, isn't it?" and is a classic way to start small talk about the weather in Spanish. Adding "¿verdad?" (isn't it?) at the end gives it a soft, agreement-seeking tone. On a rainy day, "Hace mal tiempo hoy" (The weather's bad today) is also commonly used.
