Saw in another post 'que tiempo hace' - but my inclination is to say 'que hace el tiempo'. Would that be wrong?
Thanks.

If you ask "¿Qué hace el tiempo?," the answer could be "El tiempo hace (algo)." You have to put a noun in place of algo. This is not really how you answer questions about weather.
If you ask "¿Qué tiempo hace?", answers would be "Hace viento," "Hace mucho sol," "Está lloviendo," etc. These sound normal and they are what you normally would hear in conversations about weather.

Yes Chris, that is wrong.
Que hace el tiempo
¿Qué tiempo hace?
¿Cómo está el tiempo?

after watching the video on spanish dict about the weather it said to use que tiempo hace for how's the weather and I have tried that with around 10 or 12 guys at work most from mexico but also Honduras and Guatemala and none of them understood - kennethclayton4, Oct 3, 2011
They all use como esta el tiempo - kennethclayton4, Oct 3, 2011
