So... How's the Weather?

Not only is a bad conversation starter, it's something that we all worry about in our daily lives. The weather here is mercurial. The morning is all clear and cool, then at noon it's hot and suffocating, in the afternoon the skies turn dark and you can hear thunder. In the evening its hot and suffocating again and when you're happily asleep there's thunder, lightning, and rain.

Now there's science behind this seemingly random weather. Yes I know what you're thinking, "so why does this happen?" And the answer accepted by several scientific communities is the chaos effect. The chaos effect states that there are an infinite number of variables that cause the weather. In short, we don't know. The good news is, we're getting 1% more accurate at predicting the weather every year.

But until the day comes that we can be 100% accurate about the weather, I say, forget the weatherman. Go with your instincts. But then again, I'm the one who uses the weather to start a conversation.
