clause of result

Hi,

Normally, we use the present simple in a clause of time instead of the future.

Ex: We say Call me as soon as you have any news.

But we don't say: Call me as soon as you will have any news.

My question is: Do the same thing happen with clause of result?Can I say :.....such a hot day that we will.....?

If not, please give me an example.

Thanks

Result clauses are not restricted in the way that time clauses are. It's such a hot day that we will probably all be exhausted after our picnic. It's such a hot day that we 'll have to stay inside where it's air conditioned.
