#354 Talking About the Weather English
Let me ask you something: what’s the easiest way to start a conversation in English? If you said the weather, you’re absolutely right! It doesn’t matter where you are—London, New York, or Paris—at some point, people will always talk about the weather. And it makes sense, right? The weather touches everyone’s life. If it’s sunny, people feel cheerful. If it rains, people complain. If it snows, kids celebrate while adults worry about traffic. It’s a safe, easy way to connect with others.
