Here in the Midwest, we’re trained from birth to talk about weather
Also in the UK
Well, in (insert location here), we have a saying: “If you don’t like the weather, wait 5 minutes.”
Holy shit! We have that same saying here at [insert location #2]
The older I get the less I have to talk about. Tv and movies are lame, the video games I play normal people never heard of, and nobody wants to hear what I read in books. The weather is really easy to mumble about.
When you walk to work in a cold climate, you are always checking.
I’ve been watching the weather pretty religiously since I was 5. In Oklahoma, we have the Mesonet, a collection of 70+ weather stations scattered across the state with its data available to the public. I totally go download shit to Excel and study historical data all the time. I could spend hours doing this. I should have studied meteorology in college, but I got a business degree instead.

So you’re slightly pagan?
Same. Got into surfing really young and weather is everything, so I very quickly became expert level without realising it. We’re always watching and studying the weather so closely; what’s the charts implying could happen next week? What’s the clouds, wind, and pressure saying will happen in the next hour? At some point the ocean and the weather became really close friends They’re super reliable and are always saying what they’ll do next, just need to know their language.
Die before 40, noted
Not 40, but weather news hits different when the cold/humidity fucking hurts your bones.
37 with nordic lineage and live in Cali. I don’t think I’ll ever give a fuck about the weather.
40 years ago I had a t-shirt with the globe in a sand timer and a title saying “time is running out”
I think people who leave their homes outside a car care about the weather at any age.
