In Newfoundland, that is one of the things that people constantly bitch about is the weather in this province because it is so unpredictable.
There is an old saying in Newfoundland, that four occur in Newfoundland. Those four seasons are Summer, Fall, Winter & Misery. Right at this moment I'm stuck right in the middle of the misery season back home.
It is not uncommon in this province to see four seasons occur in one day especially during the spring. You can have snow, hail, rain and sunshine all in one day.
I'm pretty much use to the weather because you once you live in this province long enough you get accustomed to it that nothing weather related even surprises you. Just a few years ago we actually had a tornado touch down on the west coast of this province. In my lifetime that is the first time I've ever heard of a tornado touching down in my province during my lifetime.
During the summer it tends to stay in the low to mid 20's Celsius. We have about a week in the summer in which it hits above 30 Degrees.
In the winter, it can range anywhere at the lowest from -20 to -35, I think we occasionally have the scatter day in which it'll go down to -40.
I've only been home for three days, and already we have had sun, rain, heavy fog and snow. Newfoundland is definitely known for its fucked up weather.
In terms of my health, the weather doesn't really affect me that much but I absolutely hate days that have high humidity. Thankfully we don't have them very often, but when we do watch out for the flies because they're brutal in the humid weather.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
