How's the weather today? This is the first line of Jonathan Taylor's new Weather Song.
When it comes to small talk, the weather is a popular subject for Canadians. For example, I talk about the weather with our crossing guard every morning. We only have a few seconds to chat before the traffic light changes. This gives us just enough time to comment on the weather.
Talking about the weather is a good way to break the ice when you meet someone new or when you're at the beginning of a conversation.
