Daily discussion post: Let's talk about the weather

[smallhobbit]

Because I'm a Brit, and that's what we do.

It is a characature that whenever two Brits get together the first thing they discuss is the weather, we all know it and acknowledge it, and continue to do it.  It's the easy ice breaker, the way of politely spending the first couple of minutes before moving onto something of greater depth.

And why not - we live in a country where one day it may be cold enough to need to put the heating back on and the next day all the windows are thrown open with the plaintive cry of 'it's too hot!'  And where in one place it will be pouring with rain and a mile away it's still dry as a bone.

So, what about you?  Do you live in a place where the weather is more guaranteed?  Do you like it hot or cold, wet or dry, snowing or thunderstorms?  And what is your weather like now?

Also, this month I'm taking part in the story_works communications challenge and sending e-cards to anyone who requests one.  Therefore, if you would like an e-card and are happy to give me your email address, please drop me a DM.  Alternatively, if you live in the UK and drop me your address I will send an actual card to you.

Weather here goes from cold to too hot for Europeans who are not used to it bc global warming. It rarely snows nowadays ;_; so we usually get cool, warm, hot, rainy, sunny, cloud-cloudy and pollution-cloudy. It has been exceptionally sunny these past few months or so it has felt, and as with every passing year it seems, way too warm for the season. I prefer cold sunny weather but I also like rain, wind and snow. Really hate it when it's above 25°C and *shudders* humid.

Hot and humid is no fun at all and pollution-cloudy is miserable. I hope you enjoy some lovely sunny and not too hot days.
