“Henry, what do you think of today’s weather?”

I live in subtropical Darwin, we have a wet season with the humidity only very briefly tempered by the rain. Generally the temperature is hot, hot, hot! Being hot and sweating profusely because of the humidity it’s not something I like and I don’t like being asked about the weather for that reason. It’s also often like being asked if you enjoy living in a sauna.

Similarly, during the supposed dry season people put it on you about the weather and what you think of it. It’s generally smoky from bushfires or controlled burning, extremely windy with the wind being hot and often not very pleasant at all

The weather is something I often want to forget – I don’t need to be asked about it and I don’t want to give an opinion to others on just one of the day is like from a weather viewpoint.
