What is the meaning of this sentence (specifically 前まで)?


> ちょっと前まで、ちょっと前まで暑かったです。

I'm following a video, and trying to translate line by line. This sentence I
got stuck on.

I'm trying to break in down into parts.

I know `ちょっと` is "a little."

What is `前まで` here? I know `今まで` is "until now." So in that line of thinking,
it leaves me somewhat confused.

And I know `暑かった` is the i-adjective `暑い`, but past tense. So was hot.

So roughly ...

> [...?] it was hot.




It means "(until) just a little while ago / just now."

> ちょっと前までここにいたのに
>
> But he was here just a little while ago.

> ちょっと前まで、ちょっと前まで暑かったです。
>
> Just now... just now, it was (still) hot.
