Don’t Knock the Weather – updated 2017
I live in Oklahoma, USA. It has about 30-60 days each summer over 90 degrees F. It has mild winters though, usually around 40 degrees average temp. Not so far this winter. We are in the grip of a cold spell that we haven’t seen in close to 14 years. It isn’t terrible compared to some places, but it is freaking a lot of people out, nonetheless.
So, why do you talk about the weather so much? What does it have that allows that?
It’s that it affects everyone, so everyone can talk about it with each other. Pretty simple. But it is more than that. Talking about the weather is a method of telling others how you feel, what you are thinking, what your emotional temperature is.
What is your emotional temperature?
