The heat gets pretty severe here, and that’s just outside of the hot season. I’ve been here for decades but don’t really complain about the weather. I mean, why bother?
Other: I rub other people’s faces in the weather I get.
In central CA, whenever rain-producing clouds emerge on the horizon, the local news stations get all atwitter and start broadcasting their “Stormcenter” weather reports, with updates every 15 minutes as to where rain is falling. I don’t think we really experience “storms” they way you folks do in the mid-west, or along the east coast. We get maybe 2-5 severe, fast-moving storms with high winds and torrential rain in a winter (not in a year, mind you). But, any time there is water on the roads, it’s “Stormcenter”. I guess it is predictable since most of the year the meteorologists have nothing really to talk about around here.
I almost never complain about the weather, and I commute by bicycle to and from work a good chunk of the year.
Like, ALL the ladies at work, who work in climate-controlled environs, and who have working heating and AC in their vehicles? I don’t think they ever STOP complaining…
So true. The more time you spend outside, the less you complain about the weather.

Weather’s perfect here.
Perhaps because brutal weather is a prime opportunity for some copulation?
and why did the first xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx get more votes?
Me too. I think we’re fairly typical of people living in semi-arid climes.
We had the storm of the decade here in Israel last week. It was awesome.
A-yup!
Gale force winds? Check
Noahide-scale deluges? Check
Main artery flooded in T-A? Snow cutting Jerusalem off like it was 1948? Check
People (well, except for those who got flooded out or spent 5 hours going nowhere… 
But all being said, the storm and the damage were dealt with reasonably well IMO) couldn’t keep the smiles off their faces 
We don’t complain about water coming from the sky. It is Just Not Done.
No complaints here. Luanda is on the coast and the Benguela current comes up from the south so this keeps things pretty temperate. A cold winter day in June/July might get down to 18C ( 65F ). Today, the high is supposed to be 29C ( 84F )
Having lived in both South Dakota and Texas, I find that complaining about winter or summer extremes is silly.
A couple of years ago when we had, as it seemed, the first really warm and pleasant summer in years I hung around with a women who kept complaining about the terrible heat. It was extremely annoying not being allowed to enjoy something I had had to be without for some time when it finally arrived back into my life. In the end I started telling her to “STFU! You just feel uncomfortable when it’s warm while I actually get physically ill when it’s cold, but you don’t hear me complain about it in the same manner”.
I only complain about the weather if it is incongruent to the season, which has been happening a LOT more often the past 5 years or so. Friday it was in the 50s, all the snow on the ground melted. The temperature dropped steadily over the weekend, and now it is freaking 10 degrees, and it snowed about 3 inches over the weekend. When the weather switches back and forth like that, it really messes with my arthritis.
In my climate, it’s very hot and summer and very cold in winter.
In winter, people complain it’s too cold.
In summer, they complain it’s too hot.
When it’s neither too hot or too cold outside, people complain it always rains on the weekends.
People here are seldom happy about the weather.
Well EmilyG it is a national pass time to discuss the weather in Quebec (with hockey of course).
Las Vegas here.
Right now, this is a bit too nippy for my tastes - mid 20’s at night!
But I do get pissed off at the weather people who always moan and groan when it gets into the 100’s here. Well, duh, that is the weather here every summer, all summer long! I personally love that heat - but I guess the weather people just haven’t quite figured out that it gets that hot every summer, every day. Perhaps after they have lived here a few years they will get memo and embrace it instead of acting shocked every time it is over 100 degrees.
When I lived in Berlin, I was never shocked to hear that it would rain or be cold and drizzly. When I lived in Chicago, it never surprised me that it would get freezing cold in the winter and that the winds from the lake would make life even more miserable. Come on people - only takes a few years in one location for you to start to see a pattern forming.
Perhaps this needs to be merged with the “People actually like the drama don’t they?” thread.
