to ask time

I know the suggested way to ask "what time is it?" is "Que hora es?". However, I was wondering if it could also be asked "Que tiempo es?". The phrase is not be talking about weather because hacer is not in it, right?
Thank you, Steve

time of day=hora
tiempo can be time in general
¿Qué tiempo es? is incorrect for ¿Qué hora es?
¿Qúe tiempo hace? What's the weather like?
Be careful because Hacer+tiempo can be used in time phrases meaning...How long ago? or some period of time ago.
Hace mucho tiempo [desde] que .... It has been a long time since....
¿Cómo está el clima hoy?
