@Lou Ann: Correct, I think. Irma has already given a good answer to that, and you can see there are some nuances and exceptions. There are also some weather-related expressions that won't admit "hace":
Hace lluvia -> llueve/está lloviendo Hace nieve -> nieva/está nevando Hace niebla -> hay niebla/está neblinoso Hace nubes -> está nublado . . .

I'm almost sure I have heard the following and it sounds OK to me.
Afuera está muy soleado. ( instead of hay sol, hace sol) Is it good Spanish?

Yes, it is good Spanish.
That's a usual way to say it in weather services, btw.

Would you have to say "afuera"? Could it just be "Está muy soleado" or "Está muy soleado hoy"?

I'm sure that's right.
Está muy soleado Hace mucho sol Hay mucho sol Hace sol is what they teach (or used to teach) in school, but as you know in language, there's are many routes you can take in order to achieve the same meaning or there's more than one way to skin a cat or ...

@Lou Ann: "afuera" adds an unnecessary emphasis (it's never sunny under a roof), but it's commonly heard.

Same in English. "It's sunny out." Or, "It's raining out." (Well, duh!) But, yeah, that's what we say. I just wanted to clarify. THANKS!!!

Now you are talking! That's the way to get your head through the language "barrier", once you are comfortable with it, then you can tackle grammar.

Perikles - you and I are SO similar. I love pondering the set of all sets, which can't exist, of course, because it can't be a member of itself. I LOVE MATH!!
