it gets warm

What is the difference between 
  'It gets warm' and 'It is getting warm'.
if 'it' refers to the weather?
  

Top answer

"It is getting warm" can stand by itself, as a description of what is happening now. "It gets warm" needs some additional context, such as when describing behaviour typical in a certain situation or contingent on something else ("It gets warm in the summertime").
