So the way I always remember 热 is by noticing that the character is made up of the radical 扌(hand) which is right above the radical 灬 (Water). So the water below is probably boiling HOT so you need to keep your hand above the water to not get burned.

The way I remember this 热 character is by creating a story. In this case, the hand 扌is placing the kettle 丸 on a fire 灬.

I also remember this character using the radical at the bottom – it looks similar to the woods used for fires. The fire-looking radical allows me to remember its meaning as “hot”

The way I remember this character is by recognizing the fire radical at the bottom of the character. In doing this, I am able to associate the fire character with the meaning hot.

Because of the ‘FIRE’ radical below, the above portion of the character is ‘HOT’.

I remember 热 by thinking of the lower part of the character (灬) as hot fire on a stove.

The hand radical looks like it is holding a pot above the fire radical, which makes the pot very hot.

The character 热 has both a hand radical, and a fire radical. It reminds me of the hand touching a hot stove.

The bottom part of the character is a fire radical, and when you use fire to burn something your surrounding becomes really hot. Nonetheless, I directly relate the word fire to heat and feeling hot.

Because there is a fire radical it signifies “being hot”, and 热 means hot because it is literally on fire.

The four lines underneath look like fire, which makes me think of hot things. Or like beads of sweat dripping off the character.

for me, the character has 3 parts: the hand radical (on the left), the fire radical (bottom one), and the left part. So, it looks like a kettle being heated and the arm trying to grab it.

I like to remember this character as a perosn walking on a HOT day, where the floor is FIRE. We also see the hand component and when things are HOT you don’t want to touch HOT things.
