Does the weather change fast where you live ?

There is a joke about weather here. They say "the easiest job is to be a weather man, because one can say any thing, and if it is not true right then, it will be in another one hour". Ha ha ! That's how the weather keeps changing here where I live. One moment it would bright and sunny, in another hour a heavy rain would come. Amazing how it changes. Is it the same where you are ? Does the weather change very fast ?

I can say it does not change fast but it changed already because of climate change. When we are supposed to be in summer, there's non-stop rain that we didn't really enjoy our summer at all. Now that it is supposed to be rainy, we are experiencing too little rain. Right now, we are experiencing a typhoon so classes are suspended but who knows when will the next rain be? This climate change is really bad because many crops are destroyed already but there is no clear solution on how to address this problem.

Weather in our country is really weird. We have two seasons: rainy and summer. Recently however, it started to combine. Really weird! Causes people to get sick. It can be really hot in the morning and rains non stop in the afternoon. Also, the weather sometimes cannot be predicted so classes being suspended due to floods sometimes come in late. Late as in when all the student are in school already. LOL!

The weather at my place here fine for last time. But nowadays, a bit unpredictable, it may rain and lightning suddenly whereas in the morning so sunny. The weather in the world become weird now. At my place here recently cover by the haze. Our country neighbour will fire the jungle almost yearly in certain period. really suffer for that.

I live in New Mexico and lately its been that way. One minute its sunny and hot the next thing you know its windy and downcast with threatening rain. Then the sun comes back out or there is a downpour. Usually during the summer months its quiet and peaceful but like I said the weather has been weird here to.

It is not that the weather keeps changing every hour in the place where I live but there is a contrast of weather in just 24hrs, yesterday it was raining cats and dogs and today it is quite sunny, there are some days when it is very humid at night, suddenly we feel cool breeze flowing the very next day.

Oh yes, it surely does change rapidly in Malaysia. You wake up on a sunny Sunday morning, get ready to work on the lawn or wash your car when suddenly it gets gloomy. Thinking that it might rain, you scrap the idea and watch television. An hour later, the sun smiles at you again!!! It works the other way round too. It can be kind of frustrating sometimes, but well we can't control the weather can we? Even a weatherman's job is not easy as people might be "swearing" at them for making the wrong predictions :)

I love the rain!Here,the weather changes from day to day,not hour to hour.But this " summer",I put quotes around it because it hasn't been hazy hot and humid yet,the weather people have bee wrong more than right.They say it will rain but the sun comes out.Usually this time of year,it is a sauna outside. But it has been hot but not too hot.There has been a cool breeze.I go out and I want to check the calendar to make sure it is July! I am not complaining,Iam just leery of this good fortune,as always.I can't help feel this may mean a huge snow storm this winter.In a town where everything closes when we are expecting an inch,a huge snowstorm we can't handle.

it does change quite quickly. but not quite as fast as your area. one time it did suddenly rain for no apparent reason. everyone was surprised since there wasnt one person who predicted that it would rain, especially during summer.

I've heard that said where i live, but it really isn't that true for us here. the weather usually sticks around for a day or two or more when it gets here. It's not completely uncommon for us to have weeks of cloudy, rainy, dreary weather. but, on the other hand, we are enjoying a rather nice stretch of sunny, warm weather. You just have to deal with what comes your way. But the long, cold, snowy winters we get here...you can keep those.

It's not like the weather changes very fast where I live, but the weather though it changing as the years are passing by. I remember when I was a little kid, I use to play in the snow every winter for days and days.. now we barely have 1 day with enough snow to notice ): Instead we go to Austria every winter for a week to go skiing - but what if Austria suddenly had no snow ever!? I don't even want to think about that!

Where I live the weather is constantly changing, in fact there is a saying that if you can see Ben Lomand it is going to rain, and if you can't see it it is raining already.. Sometimes you can get all four seasons in the one day, going from hot and sunny to cold wet with snow, at the moment it is raining, yet I could walk about without a jacket an hour ago.

In Florida the weather seems to change fast as well. It can be beautiful and then 2 minutes later it's pouring and that will last for about 10 minutes and then it will be beautiful again. It's weird and it's annoying. When I'm out, if I have a big enough purse I keep and umbrella in it because it's that unpredictable.

Hi greenline, certainly the weather can change very fast. This past winter we had constant rain every night, torrential, endless rain, but would often wake to bright skies. There were some lovely afternoons which inspired walks, the sky was clear so a walk by the sea would be good. But the black clouds would descend from the mountains within minutes and it would pour again, really catching one out. I must have lost count of the number of times that happened this winter.

Weather in India is so bad.Here is the monsoon is not good .You still feel like summer season in rainy season.Most of the people are just praying for the rain.I think due to imbalance in ecosystem.The rain is not falling over here.Scientiest believe that next is going to bare poor monsoon.If ecosystem is imbalaced.The government should take important steps for that.

One thing about Scotland is the variety of weather that we enjoy not only does it differ from season to season but it can also be very changeable from day to day or even hour to hour. However, I would prefer to have it no other way. I think if I lived in area of long hot summers I would get bored with the almost permanent sunshine.
