Weather forecasters on radio and television are always apologizing about the weather, when most of the time the weather’s just doing what comes naturally. \u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Specific weather patterns occur during certain times of the year.\u00a0 <\/span>And sometimes each of these patterns lasts a big longer, or doesn’t last as long as usual.\u00a0\u00a0It’s not a surprise.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In\u00a0a region famous for its fog,\u00a0our forecasters\u00a0say, sadly,\u00a0\u201dNo\u00a0sun tomorrow morning.\u00a0 <\/span>Maybe\u00a0later in the day.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>Some of us aren\u2019t sad about the fog.\u00a0 <\/span>Some of us\u00a0look forward to it slipping onshore and staying around for as long as it wants to. We live in a fog belt.\u00a0 <\/span>We don\u2019t expect sunshine every morning. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Take the weather in a region that enjoys a full range of winter-related behavior – sleet and hail and cold and wind and rain.\u00a0 <\/span>When I’m visiting and watching\/listening I always wonder why weather people feel the need to complain when they predict more of the same over a period of months.\u00a0 <\/span>Winters have been cold and wet for as long as anyone can remember.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In southern\u00a0California, where some of my friends are in charge of reading the forecasts – and where I once handed out my share of same to audiences – whenever much-needed rain appears\u00a0(and it\u2019s not that many days out of a year) someone invariably expresses eagerness for the sun to return.\u00a0 Southern California is a desert.\u00a0 <\/span>The sun will be back soon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The only people regularly expressing surprise at these regular occurrences are weather forecasters.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
