Recently, the weather has been changeable. Some days when I have got up, it has been sunny and the temperature has been nice for this season. However, other days, it has been drizzling or have been showers all the day so it is awful.

I hate this weather because I feel depressive and I can´t walk or have a coffee outdoors. In fact, I have to drive whatever place and if I go out to have a coffee with my friends in the afternoons, we have to stay indoors because it is damp or it is wet and you can´t be outdoors.

I know that the rain is essential and we are in a period of drought but I prefer a sunny day when the temperature is nice to go out and have some drinks because when the day is wet or it is pouring, I only want to be relaxed at home.

The first time that I visited Puerto Rico I got shocked when I stepped off the plain and I felt the heat and the humidity in the middle of December!! It was not really scorching but the humidity made me sweat right away so I had to take my coat and my sweater off. Still, I felt as if I was melting, so I enter a WC to take my thick stockings off and then I felt much more relieved.
I looked up to the sky and I saw that it was clear with almost no clouds, but within few minutes a breeze started and two big dark clouds appeared over us. It showered enough to make us end soaked, but it didn´t last too long. The wind pushed the clouds away and we had again a brigh sun drying
our clothes again..
That changeable weather was crazy,it was like entering a sauna and having a shower afterwards...but I got used to it and ended up loving it!!

In my own relationship with the weather I've lost the battle, because I always work indoors, then I have to suffer the worst weather conditions in summer when is scorching, in winter when is frezzing, even below-zero, and the rain in spring and autumn, as though I was a sort of tester of the weather.

Sometimes there are such uncomfortable situations that it is imposible to work, for instance, when it is pouring and you get completely wet, so you are cold and start trembling, or when our friend "Lorenzo" is in the sky, so here in the earth, your body starts sweating, the clothes get wet and you can't take them off.

However, I think the worst to my job is the fog, because you see nothing and people doesn't see you, so it is too easy to be run over by a car which is driven by an old man or an old woman.

I was interested in listening to the weather forecast for last weekend, because I was going to plan a trip to nearby mountains. However, heavy rain and strong winds were forecast in the south of Spain. Northen Spain would have hard rain and gale-force winds. They would be produced by an atlantic cyclone that would across the north of the Iberian Peninsula. I decided to put the trip off, because I have had bad experiences with rain in the countryside.
Two years ago, I got a permit to climb a mountain in the Grazalema Mountain Range. When we arrived at the local office, the guards advised us to change our aim of reaching the top of the mountain, which was covereded by thick fog. They told us we could get lost and the paths were extremely slippery. We decided to go to another place of the mountain. When we were walking in the wood, it started pouring, it was raining cats and dogs. Although we were well-prepared to cope with rain we got absolutely soaked and we got lost during a short period. So , I try to listen to weather report before I go on a trip to the countryside.

This weekend the weather in Spain has been strong. People have had to stay at home in the north because strong winds and heavy rain have made it dangerous to go out. Driving was impossible, some roads were closed and the news on the television and radio told us that the people needed be careful if they tried to travel, because the wind was similar to a cyclone. In the east were gale force winds and four children died when the sport centre's roaf fell down on top of them. It ripped up trees and a lot of flights were cancelled. However, in the south we have been lucky. The weather has been changeable between clear skies and clouds. Apart from the Straits of Gibraltar, where the wind was very dangerous.
I think it's a sign of climate change. Although the goverments are starting to do something about it, they are not doing enough. Perhaps they should be looking at reducing the number of cars on the road or reducing emissions from factories and big industry. Global warming is a serius problem and we all have to do our bit to prevent it. I'm concerned about the situation care because the future will be a disaster if everyone isn't conscious about the problem.
