Questions & Answers about kyou wa harete atsui node, hiyakedome o nutte kara dekakeru.

Why is は used after 今日?

今日 は sets today up as the topic of the sentence.

So the sentence is talking about as for today...

This does not necessarily mean today is the grammatical subject. It is just the thing the speaker is framing the statement around. In English, we often do this without noticing, with expressions like:

• As for today, ...
• Today, ...

Japanese uses は very often for that kind of topic marking.

Why is 晴れて in the て-form?

晴れて comes from 晴れる, a verb meaning to clear up / to be sunny.

Here, the て-form connects it to the next part:

• 晴れて暑い = it is sunny and hot

A common learner question is: why not use an adjective-like form? The reason is that 晴れる is a verb, not an い-adjective. So it connects as a verb:

• 晴れる → 晴れて

This is similar to saying:

• The weather is sunny and hot

in one smooth phrase.
