No such thing as good (or bad) weather

It is drizzling.  I daren't go out as I am recovering (nearly there) from a tummy bug and I wouldn't want to be any distance from the loo!  So today's weather is fine by me.

Wife Stella has injured her upper back and neck (in the gym!) so has had to cancel a (horse) ride on the beach near Findhorn.  Well I said, with reference to the weather, that this isn't a bad day to need to cancel.  "I like riding in the drizzle!"

Meanwhile, my pilot daughter Polly will be (to use the jargon) "circuit bashing" at Teesside airport in an Airbus.  This is handling the real thing after many years training and lots of Airbus simulator time.  She needs good cloud base and visibility for that - and seems to have got it.  Then shortly - as a first officer - she will be let loose with real passengers - under strict supervision of course.  It is ironic to think that the last time I did circuit bashing, I was the instructor, not the trainee.  That was a very long time ago.

I asked ChatGPT (AI) what it thought.

Good weather is subjective and can vary depending on personal preferences and circumstances. However, generally speaking, good weather is often associated with conditions that are pleasant, comfortable, and favorable for various outdoor activities. Here are some characteristics commonly associated with good weather:

1. Temperature: Moderate temperatures that are neither too hot nor too cold are often considered ideal. The specific range may vary depending on individual preferences and the geographical location. For example, some people might prefer temperatures around 70-80°F (20-27°C) while others might enjoy hotter or cooler climates.

2. Sunshine: Ample sunlight is typically associated with good weather. Clear skies and abundant sunshine create a cheerful atmosphere and provide natural light for outdoor activities.

3. Low humidity: Moderate or low humidity levels are often preferred, as high humidity can make the air feel heavy and uncomfortable. Lower humidity levels can enhance the overall comfort and make it easier to engage in physical activities.

4. Gentle breeze: A light, gentle breeze can be refreshing and pleasant, especially during warmer days. It can help cool down the air and create a comfortable outdoor environment.

5. Lack of precipitation: Good weather is often characterized by the absence of rain, snow, or other forms of precipitation. Dry conditions are generally preferable for outdoor activities, although some people may enjoy light rain for specific purposes like gardening or walking.

It's important to note that what constitutes good weather can vary based on cultural factors, personal preferences, and the specific activities or plans individuals have. Some people might prefer colder temperatures for activities like skiing, while others may enjoy warmer weather for swimming or sunbathing. Ultimately, good weather is subjective and can differ from person to person.
