Finally, the weather is warming up.
An expression used at the end of winter and the beginning of spring. Conversely, if the weather gets colder, you say 'It's cooling down.'
It's perfect weather for a walk.
Connect weather talk to activity suggestions naturally with 'perfect weather for + activity'.
Dress warmly when going outside.
bundle up = to layer clothes. It's a kind expression to take care of someone on a cold day.
This heat is killer.
