REAL is an adjective that means "actual" or "authentic" as opposed to fake or imaginary. (That stuffed animal looks so real.) REALLY is an adverb (intensifier) that means "very" (It's really hot out today.)

yeah, really is an extreme measure of something, whereas it is not grammatically correct to use real in the same sense, it would be more of a slang usage there, though people do tend to use it in that incorrect way. real means genuine, and is not supposed to be used to convey extreme amounts.
so it would be "really" hot outside!

In your expression, Real - means very very hot and when you say really - it is just asking or wondering if it is hot.

it's really hot outside.
really is an adverb, you use it before an adjective.
in slang sometimes you can say, it's real hot outside.
get a dictionary.
