Hi Rocky,

There was a previous thread on this very same topic that you might be interested in. Here is a link that will take you to the discussion: Fuera y afuera

Answer 3

Great question! Even when you look them up here, you get an identifical example: "It's cold outside" is listed for both - "Hace frío afuera" and "Hace frío fuera".

I'll be watching for the answer as well.
