I used to think that it was only the English who were obsessed with the weather, but since I’ve lived here, I realised that the Greeks talk (and complain) about the weather almost as much as the English do.
it’s always the sun….
The people who talk obsessively about the weather are those who suffer from completely unpredictable and unreliable weather conditions. Greece used to have a predictable climate: it has no longer. This is something in common with UK weather, and why Greeks now talk incessantly about the weather but did not in the past.
we have always talked about the weather here – especially people who have to deal with works, travel, farming breeding etc affected by weather.
