It's close today.

Hi

Is this sentence natural English?

It's close today. [There is little (or no) air and it's stuffy today.]

Thanks,

Tom

PS: By the way, should I use cool or cold with blow?

It's blowing cool/cold today.

Mr. It's close today. Maybe natural but not common; I didn't understand it until you explained it.

It depends on the temperature and how you feel about it.

This is well-known and common in British English.

Frankly, I can think of nothing. I have heard of a stuffy room, but I cannot imagine a day being so.

Mr. TomIt's close today.
American English: It's muggy today. It's (very) humid today.

I hear 'muggy' about 100 times more often than I hear 'close'.
