A rant about the weather

It’s June and in Madrid it’s still cold and rainy. For the last two months we’ve been having regular but very short spells of sun and chirpy birds, but the rest of it has been dark and rainy, in other words: ugly and depressing. By now my shorts and flip-flops should be out, but I’m still wearing jumpers and boots!

Actually, the last two weeks, the weather has been changing every hour — literally. Warm and sunny, dark and rainy. You can’t do anything without carrying a little suitcase with a clothes change! This has never happened before in Madrid.

I took 3 trips over the last two months: Prague, Valencia and more recently Seville — same deal there. What’s going on? I thought the planet was struck with global warming issues! In other words, the why is the temperature falling instead of rising? Is your city also experiencing the weirdest weather ever?
