Sí, tú estas correcto

Hará es HACER conjugó en el futuro tiempo

Se usa HACER con tiempo (weather)

Por ejemplo
¿Qué tiempo hace? - traducción (What is the weather? litteraly (What makes the weather)


Es hace frío hoy - traducción (It is cold today - litteraly (It makes cold today)

Espero que esta información te ayudes

You translations in Spanish are in one wrong.
The correct translation should to be so.

Habra calor en miercoles y el Jueves.


In the second choice also you have one mistake.

Afuera esta hermoso or bonito.

But I think that the word is incomplete the sentence because it does not to me sence.

The in my opinion the sentence would make senser so.

El ambiente afuera esta bonito.

The ambient outside is beautiful.


I hope my suggestions are correct and you can understand them.

When making a weather forecast, the verb HACER is generally used with a NOUN, i.e.
Hará calor el miércoles y el viernes.
Hará viento la semana que viene.
El frío de Siberia hará su entrada por el norte.

And the verb SER is used with an ADJECTIVE, i.e
El miércoles y el viernes serán cálidos.
Diciembre será frío.

Also quite common with weather forecasts here in Spain is the use of HABER:
Habrá vientos tormentosos en todo el sur.
Habrá sol en todas las regiones del norte.

But if you're describing the weather you can use HACER with an ADJECTIVE:
Hace bueno. Hace malo. Hace lindo.

Also ESTAR:
Está tormentoso or está de tormenta.

My

BTW, there are several ways here in Spain to say "Drizzle". Some that I can think of:
orbayo/urbayo
morrinar
sirimiri / chirimiri
calabobos
llovizna
chispear

Any more?

I'd never heard "a tempest in a teapot" before. I guess different people say it different ways, but it's obviously very similar to the one I gave.
