And when ye see the south wind blow,…. From the hot countries of Egypt, Ethiopia, and Arabia, which lay south of Judea:
ye say there will be heat; or hot sultry weather, scorching heat, which such a wind brings with it:
and it cometh to pass; generally speaking, as is asserted.

Heat [] . See on Jas 1:10; Mt 20:12.
Discern [] . See on trial and tried, 1Pe 1:7. It means here test or prove. You can test and prove the weather by your signs; but you cannot apply the proof which lies in the signs of the times. Rev., interpret, gives the idea. Wyc., prove.

1) “And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say,” (kai hotan noton pneonta legete) “And when you all see a south wind blowing, you all say,” as a matter of observation, what you have seen and learned by observation, what you have seen and learned by observation from natural phenomena, Mat 16:3.
2) “There will be heat;” (hoti kauson estai) “That there will be heat,” or a “hot spell or season” is coming, from the Sinai desert down south, Job 37:17.
3) “And it cometh to pass.” (kai ginetai) “And it comes to be, to exist,” it happens that way, in harmony with the functioning of the laws of nature, very much as anciently recognized and affirmed, 1Ki 18:44.

(55) There will be heat.See Note on Mat. 20:12. The word rendered heat is probably used here as signifying the burning wind, the simoom, which, blowing over the desert, scorched and withered all that was green and fresh. (Comp. Jas. 1:11, where it is rightly rendered burning heat.)

“And when you see a south wind blowing, you say, ‘There will be a scorching heat,’ and it happens.”
The south wind comes up from the hot wilderness warmth of the Negeb and beyond, and thus will inevitably bring scorching heat as the wind blows the heat of the wilderness into the land. In the conditions pertaining in Palestine both situations were the inevitable result of the different winds.
