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.
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.
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”
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.
