Hello wonderseekers!
Well, the world is a swirling miasma of chaos at the moment, isn’t it? If your newsfeed isn't full of the aforementioned chaos, I congratulate you for curating your information sources with such wholesome peacefulness. For the rest of us, we need a wee break from heavy conversations. So, what is the one safe topic that’s available? The weather.
In fact, Brits spend five months of their life talking about the weather, with the average British adult checking the weather forecast 11 times a day. (Perhaps not surprisingly, the top three topics of conversation amongst Brits are the time, the weather and tea.)
This week is all about the weather and why, as humans, we love to talk about it.
Some wonderbringers for me this week:
Listen: Weather Geeks podcast (going strong after 10 years!)
The Best Small-Talk Topic: Go ahead, talk about the weather.
Thoughts from a socio-meteorologist (who knew there were socio-meteorologists??): The psychology of weather forecasts.
Quotable quotes: “Every storm runs out of rain.” – Maya Angelou
FYI, I have upcoming eye surgery, so there will be no video next week. If you’re desperate to hear my voice, you can always listen to my podcast interview with Scott Barry Kaufman on The Psychology Podcast.
With wonder,
