My understanding is that it means " hot ".

So can I say " the weather is hot today "

きょうはてんきがむしつくです?

thanks
 
むしあつく is the adverbial form. It's an i-adjective, so the dictionary form is むしあつ (蒸し暑い in kanji).
むしあつい means "hot and humid", not just "hot", so it's not used for hot and dry weather. "Hot" is just あつい.

きょうはあついです。
きょうはむしあついです。
 
I call Japanese summer 湿気で死刑: execution by humidity

I like dumb puns
 
How long have you been in Japan? 蒸し暑い should have been one of the first words you ever learned, at least during your first summer.

 
Thanks Toritoribe.
 
I would say it more like this : かごのとり gaijin.
