첫 만남 때 사용할 수 있는 날씨 표현들
Bad Weather
Example 1
Amy: It's an ugly day today.
Bob: I know. I think it may rain.
Amy: It's the middle of summer, so it shouldn't rain today.
Bob: That would be weird.
Amy: Yeah, especially since it's ninety degrees outside.
Bob: I know, it would be horrible if it rained and it was hot outside.
Amy: Yes, it would be.
Bob: I really wish it wasn't so hot every day.
Amy: Me too. I can't wait until winter.
Bob: I like winter too, but sometimes it gets too cold.
Amy: I'd rather be cold than hot.
Bob: Me too.
Example 2
Amy: It doesn't look very nice outside today.
Bob: You're right. I think it's going to rain later.
Amy: In the middle of the summer, it shouldn't be raining.
Bob: That wouldn't seem right.
Amy: Considering that it's over ninety degrees outside, that would be weird.
Bob: Exactly, it wouldn't be nice if it started raining. It's too hot.
Amy: I know, you're absolutely right.
Bob: I wish it would cool off one day.
Amy: That's how I feel, I want winter to come soon.
Bob: I enjoy the winter, but it gets really cold sometimes.
Amy: I know what you mean, but I'd rather be cold than hot.
Bob: That's exactly how I feel.

Bob: Yes, it is.
Amy: It looks like it may rain soon.
Bob: Yes, and I hope that it does.
Amy: Why is that?
Bob: I really love how rain clears the air.
Amy: Me too. It always smells so fresh after it rains.
Bob: Yes, but I love the night air after it rains.
Amy: Really? Why is it?
Bob: Because you can see the stars perfectly.
Amy: I really hope it rains today.
Bob: Yeah, me too.
Example 2

Bob: Is it going to be perfect beach weather?
Amy: I believe so.
Bob: Good. I hope it doesn't cool off this weekend.
Amy: I know. I really want to go to the beach.
Bob: But you know that California weather is really unpredictable.
Amy: You're right. One minute it's hot, and then the next minute it's cold.
