【一起闲话英语】哪里的天气好-Good Weather Spots

Akane, Canada

speaker What part of your country has the best weather and the worst weather? Well, I would say that the best part of the country with weather is Vancouver or the West Coast of Canada because they have very mild summers and winters. That means that the winters aren't too cold. They're a bit cold but now very cold and the summers don't get that hot. They stay quite cool in the summer. Where I'm from in Toronto, many people don't like the weather because the winters are very, very long and harsh¹, and the summers are very, very hot and humid.

 

Simon, Canada

speaker I'm from Canada so the best weather in Canada, I would say is the West Coast. West Coast in the summer time. It's sunny and warm. It's never hot. It's kind of cool actually but not cold. It's beautiful. Ah, the worst weather in my country is also the West Coast for the rest of the year. When it is not summer it rains every day all the time.

 

Joel, United States

speaker Well, I think the worst weather, some me people would disagree, but I think the worst weather is up in the Pacific Northwest, like Seattle and Portland. I think it rains all the time and I really get depressed² in the rain, and the best weather is my hometown, Colorado, because it doesn't rain much. It's hot and nice in the summer, not too hot, and you get a nice change of pace with a cooler winter and a nice fall.

 

Mitchell, United States

speaker Well, since I'm from Hawaii, it's summer all year round, and during winter all it does is rain occassionally, so pretty much you can find me at the beach 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, barbequeing, enjoying the sun and catching³ a tan⁴ with my friends. Also, during the spring, it's very nice. We got nice trade winds coming in. We call it Kona trade winds, and compared to mainland⁵ America, I can't complain.

 

Lucinda, New Zealand

speaker Ah, the part of New Zealand that has the worst weather is Wellington, I think, because of the wind, and all of the houses are on the mountain so when the wind comes, all the houses get the worst part of the weather, and one of my, actually my Japanese teacher was walking down the street and got hit by lightning in Wellington through her umbrella and the part of the country that has the best weather I think is where I live which is the Bay of Islands. It's mostly subtropical, but I think it is more near tropical⁶. Yeah, that's about it.

 

Tom, England

speaker I don't know if you've been to the Lake District in the Northwest of England, but it probably has the best and the worst weather. It can be miserable⁷ and grey and rainy and really just the wettest and dampest place in the country, but then when the sum comes out everything is green and beautiful and that's why it's such a popular place to go camping and hiking, because when it is good it is really, really beuatiful there.
