How does the climate affect one's leisure time?

no, it does not affect my time . i am retired so not much affects my time. I just do as i want to when i want to, lol.

Dear neelianoscet, Yes, climate change affects our leisure activity very much. There is one occasion where we are in Ocean Park Hong Kong. We plan to enjoy the outdoor activities, however, there is warnings on typhoon no. 5 which they will stop all outdoor activities. So, we ended up visiting all the indoor games and exhibits during that hours. Thank God, 3 hours later, they started the outdoor activities when the warning is then withdrew. We managed to sit on the outdoor cable car and see other outdoor attractions :)

Winter always has an affect on my leisure time. I love gardening and fishing and I can't do either when everything is frozen. This winter has been especially bad with very frigid temperatures, rarely going above freezing. Our lake is completely frozen and the snow we got in the beginning of December is STILL on the ground. At the moment, it is JUST at the freezing mark. I doubt the ground will thaw out until well into Spring. Summer is not that bad. It does get hot but not usually unbearable. Those days when it does get very hot, I just come back into the house because we do have air conditioning. I don't like going out shopping when it is very hot but that's the only thing that is really affected in the Summer.

Hi neelian! How's my girlfriend today? Well, being that I live in NYS it is really cold this time of year! And on the very cold and windy wintery days no one wants to even get out of bed or leave the house! But, when you have things to do you have no choice! I am not working right now, but when I have things to do I just have to bundle up and walk to wherever I need to and get whatever I need to done! Sometimes it is so cold out that it hurts and I already have a bad knee and ankle and the cold weather only makes them worse! But, you just sometimes have to do what you need to do! I try to watch the weather and pick the best days to go out and do chores!

At the moment it is cold and snowy in Britain. The roads are icy and it is difficult to go anywhere if you have to travel. News have been saying some local shops are unable to get enough supply for customers and non-household shops have seen the amount of their customers reduced by 40%. I wonder what kind of leisure activities people have in mind when they need to worry about food supply? I am not a very outdoor person. So this kind of weather really put me off for doing any outdoor entertainment. In fact, my outdoor activities only contain shopping and occasional jogging, and I didn't go out of my door during Christmas for 4 days. I simply phoned up relatives and friends to come to visit me, so I didn't need to go out and be tortured by the weather. I guess if weather was warmer I would be more active and less lazy. However, who can tell me there will be nice weather in this time of the year in Britain?

Well colder weather and snow and ice affects our ability to go outside. I know I like to go for walks outside during the warmer months. Right now, I am pretty much stuck inside. I have to seek alternate methods of exercising. So that's one way that my leisure time is affected. A lot of rain would affect that as well. The climate tends to rule what we can do a lot of times and changes force us to adapt.

only in the winter I cant set outside at night like I can in the sprin summer and fall.

We in tropical countries will find it hard to do outdoor jobs when the weather is too hot. All I do is spend my time indoors reading or surfing the net. The hot sun not only affect my leisure time it also affects the skin. Even with sunblock, the skin still get dark and regular exposure to the heat outside will age the skin faster.

I live in a country which has a temperate climate. If I lived in a tropical country I might have delightful leisure time all year. I only have delightful leisure time in the summer. I wouldn't be able to sit out in my freezing cold garden at the moment. We are having a miserably cold winter. I don't wish to take my dogs for walks at the beach. I can't have picnics in the countryside. Days out are awful when my children get cold. It gets dark early and evenings are really cold. It is not pleasant to go out to the movies one evening. In the summer I go out to the beach and have lots more fun. Winter is boring and summer is fun.

Climate change definitely has got effects in alot of ple, and the things they are doing, including me.. haha =D Recently, or maybe in the last 2 months or so, it keeps on raining over here, and it really affects my runs.. As such, i ended up running on the treadmill, which i dun really like to.. And once the weather is cleared, i have to go for long distances to make up for my lost time, for i wont know, if it's gonna rain again the next day.. hehe

Yes, climate does have an effect on my leisure time. More people around here spend more time indoors in the winter but more want to get outside more often in the summer. I ride horseback a lot and I can only do that in the summer. Some people like to ride in the winter but I was taught not to because horses can be very frisky when it's below 50 degrees outside. I've had several accidents in the past and I want to be careful. The therapeutic riding center where I volunteer is closed down right now because there are just too many bad days in the winter to be doing any riding. I also like to swim a lot and that's another summertime acitivity around here. We do have an indoor pool here in town now and it's fairly new. I haven't had a chance to try it out yet. Kathy.

i dont think the climate gonna have great effect on our daily life. normally if the climate is not good, you can change you plan. may be other plan gonna be more better. that 's depends. so people have consider all kinds of situation before making the final decision. but sometime, people have to learn how to change and accept some unhappy situation.

Yes i think it would really. The way i do it is, when its colder i tend to do more activities so i would feel warm later.When its humid, ahhh thats when i am too lazy to do things becausei tend to just stay in a place where i can feel comfortable cooler. My rhinitis hates humidity, so im really not in the mood to be active, and when i take medicines, i would feel drowsy and just stay in bed and snooze,snooze,snooze. Well cold climate makes us sleepy too, but we dont want to sleep when we know there are lots of things that we must do. I say i love not too cold, not too humid days, which is tropical, and that's what my country is having most of the time. Have a great week!

For me it doesnt have an effect coz i always prefer to stay at home and have my leisure time here unless friends ask me out

It does. When the weather is hot outside especially in the afternoon, I don't go outside during Weekends. I am to tired to go out, I always decide to stay at home. If I want to refresh myself from the hot weather, i go to bath for 30 minutes and stay besides our electric fan and sleep. The same goes when it is raining, whether it is not raining hard, I am so lame to go out of the house. I don't like get my feet wet. I don't like to get wet. I lose interest of going out of the house. If I have my own car I can consider going out, but if I will commute to get to the place I want to ,I rather stay at home.

Hi neelia, You are right; the weather can play an important role in our leisure time activities. Now here the bad weather is going on. I really don’t want to go out on this bad weather. But I have to go for work and on holiday there is no outing and I preferred to stay at home. If the weather is pleasant then we may feel to go out and enjoy sometimes with kids. We are reducing the outing maximum in winter (with family). This is applicable in case of summer, if the sun scorching then it is not good for outing but in the evening we can go. The same opportunity is not available in winter season.

As I was telling someone recently, this recent cold snap here in Texas has made me lazy. I usually walk for exercise, but the cold for which we are unaccustomed has prevented me from getting out and doing that. Once a good habit has been broken, it is hard to restart. This is unlike bad habits.

Certainly the climate does have an effect on leisure activities. Day to day work days are not effected as much because the majority of us have no choice but go to work regardless of the weather! On the weekends of course it is a different scenario. Here is Australia it is summer and today it is extremely hot, 41 degrees Celsius in fact and the best place to be is indoors by the air conditioning or swimming in the pool! If the weather was cooler we would consider a picnic or a walk to the park. so, sure the weather has a definitive effect on our leisure activities.

Well it's currently winter time and I live in a pretty bad place for winter when you're someone that hates being cold. It's so cold here that I try to avoid going outside as much as I can because I just can't feel comfortable while I'm shaking violently from being so cold. When it's a warmer climate where I live I am much more active and spend a lot more time outside. I always look forward to the summer because I absolutely hate the winter. I spend quite a bit more time in the woods and outdoors when it's not negative ten degrees outside.

Here in the Philippines, climate change are normal that's because we are belong to tropical countries, hot climate is actually normal for us, the weather bureau said, effect of changes could be possibly experience and starts on February.
