People in Russia love talking about the weather, especially if they live in Saint-Petersburg like me. I have to say, we are not happy about our climate. We find summer to be too hot or too rainy. And we complain of our winter weather because it's too slush when the show melts or too cold when it doesn't.

1) freezing cold
2) snow
3) sunny
4) breeze
5) mild
6) sweltering
7) pouring

Thank you for the warm welcome. I am pretty much glad that you like my first entry in the blogging :)
It was my very first blog so I hope that every next one will be more and more interesting and enjoyable to read :)

In Poland as in Spain we often talk about the weather. Polish summer tends to be rather sunny and warm but winter can be really cold, sometimes the temperature reaches -25 C. I always say that there is no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing :-)

Hi, Rosie.
When I visited London(just for travelling), the weather was awesome. It was at the end of June and sunny. ^^ Before travelling there, I had also been told about the weather in London which is not really good, so I worried about that a little bit. Anyway, I really miss my staying in London.

And your explanation about definite article 'the' is very helpful. I got confused a lot before, but your's is very easy to understand. (but still a little bit confused..^^;;)

Have a nice weekend.
hahaha.. it is snowing in Korea now. It's crazy! It's March !!!

Sumin.

Hi Rosie,Ìý
In Russia we talk about Ìýthe wether very often, especially at winter. We have a long winter. It may begin at the end of november and finish only at the end of march or later. That's why people in our country want to know when will be warmer and discuss the wether.

Hello Rosie
In Georgia the weather is always predictable and steady. We have temperate climate. But when some times happens that we have severe winter, then weather comes at the center of attention and in this case It's often used to be spoken about it. Usually, besides of weather, the beloved themes for Georgians are Politic and social theme.
A: Brrrrrrrr! It's 1) ___freezing cold_____ _______ today, isn't it?
B: Yes, I watched the weather forecast and apparently it's going to 2) __snow____ this weekend!
A: Great - I love having snowball fights! The weather is so changeable: yesterday it was nice and 3) __mild____ and there was a warm 4) _breeze________.
B: You can never rely on English weather. I'm going on holiday to Madrid in July to enjoy some 5)_sunny_____ weather. In summer there is 6) _sweltering_______ heat there.
A: A little too hot for my liking! I like English weather... sometimes. Oh no, it's 7) _pouring_______ down with rain! Can I share your umbrella?

Thank you for some interesting phrases.

Hi Rosie

It’s a sin to complain about the London’s weather! )) I’ve just compared the forecast. The next week it’ll be sunny and very warm in London, whereas in St. Petersburg it will be slushy and dank.((
Last summer I was in London. Having heard of awful weather in the UK I was ready to face with a drizzle, a downpour, a heavy shower and so on. However there was a scorcher during that week. Every day I took an umbrella suspecting there might be a catch in such a pleasant weather. But I used the umbrella only once and that rain didn’t spoil my mood. Because I think that London without rain isn’t London at all! ))
As Yury and Svetlana wrote we like speaking about weather. But sometimes it seems to be peevish. It’s normal when it’s been snowing in Russia during winter! Much worse it was in January in the Sahara desert and Morocco when they were buried with snow. In our city a real winter began only at the end of January and lasted for a month. Then a thaw had set in. I was one of those people who were not pleased with it because a skating rink had melted and we didn’t have enough time to enjoy skating.
It’s said in our popular song that any weather is blessing. And often when someone begins grumbling another one can remind him/her that quotation.
Regarding our home task I quite agree with all guys and gals.
Have a good day.
Tatiana

Hi Rosie,

Thank for impressive photos of winter seasons, here in most of Thailand we don't really have that but some parts on higher ground such as mountain we can taste some cold weather only a short period. Considering equator country like us we may be the least winter season comparing with you and Olga, we have several way to treat when the weather is so hot. For example by the middle of next month our tradition festival called Songkran shall begin, a lot of foreign people come with their water gun and all people have a lot of fun in that period.

Hi Rosie

Your blog reads well again as usual.

As you mentioned the word 'drizzle' it brought some lovely feelings to my mind.
Fortunately I had opportunity to spend some days in London last October. I was fully prepared to protect myself against the rain. The rainfall means to me a heavy and unpleasant shower which put everything in soak causing paddling in mudy shoes as usually happens in my country. My husband who spent a year earlier in the UK tried to explain me the diffference in quality between them but I did not understand it at all. But now I know..
Maybe twice a day slight rain started falling down nearly unperceivedly and stopped in the same way leaving fresh air and clear sky after that. My umbrella was not opened for 6 days. I know that 6-day-period is not the same as a whole year but since then the rain showed me a particularly different face of itself which is much less troublesome.

Have a nice day.

Hi Rosi. Of course we Spanish speak about wheather, as you and Olga Know. I speak about weather whith my neighbors in the lift. I thik we Spanish always complain about weather: it's too hot or too cold; it seems weather isn't never for our liking.
For instance, this year it hardly snowed in my town and sourroundisgs, so ski slopes have had a very little snow, and people who live on snow bussines have lost a lot of money. Indeed, there won't be stock of water enough for summer. Everyone complains about drought right now. But if it had snowed a lot, everybody had complained about it. In others words, if a rainy spring comes -let's hope so- everybody will miss sunny days. Always have been like this and always well be.

Dear Rosie,
indeed it looks like all around the world people talk about weather. I remember the first time I went to Slovenija, my mother's country, from morning to evening (they aren't "specific", are they?) everyone said: VROCE JE! VROCE JE! That is: boiling hot...
However during my short holidays in London last summer I noticed a significant difference: if in Italy we say simply it is raining or not raining, you have much more nuances about the weather: how many kind of coloured clouds on your newspapers!
Er, I apologize for not doing my homework now but... being a (physics) theacher this time I want to be a naughty boy! :)
