Because in Arabic, the present-tense to be is usually omitted.

So الحرارة مناسبة literally looks like the heat/temperature suitable, but it means the temperature is suitable or the heat is right.

This is very normal in both Standard Arabic and Egyptian Arabic.

• الحرارة مناسبة = the temperature is suitable
• الميه سخنة = the water is hot

If you wanted past tense, then a form of كان would appear:

• الحرارة كانت مناسبة = the temperature was suitable

Why is مناسبة feminine?

In Arabic, adjectives agree with the noun they describe in gender and number. So:

• حرارة مناسبة = suitable temperature/heat
• not حرارة مناسب

The feminine ending here is ـة.

Why is مناسبة not definite, even though الحرارة is definite?
