Dear North Carolina weather,
I am sick of you. Your inconsistency is something I have become accustom to. I think I deserve better than that.
As of late, I hardly know how to even dress for you anymore. The scorching mid 90 temperatures call for tank tops and shorts, but the sudden cold rain? What am I supposed to do with that? Wear a jacket? In July?! And even if I were to put on a jacket, in mere seconds the cold rain would stop and turn back into a sweaty, sunny day. Please, for the love of all things holy, make up your mind! I am sick of the games, all I want, all I need, is to be able to go out wearing one outfit, and have it be appropriate for the whole day.
Honestly, North Carolina weather, I really do enjoy you, but the rapid, violent thunderstorms have got to stop. I’m sick of fearing close lightning strikes and my dog is tired of the thunder every single day.
It is summer, therefore I want to wear sandals. But how do you expect me to do that when the sidewalks are more like swimming pools? How do you expect me to utilize the warm temperatures and my days off to tan, when all you do is rain? And if you decide not to rain, you ever so graciously make it very cloudy. Don’t think that I haven’t noticed, that every time the weather appears to be perfect, warm and sunny, it's only when I am trapped inside at work. I think you should know every beach trip I have tried to take so far this summer was ruined by you.
If I haven’t already said it enough, North Carolina weather, you are the most indecisive thing on this earth! The other day I stood in a spot where it was sunny, but five feet away from me, there were sheets of rain falling from the sky. The sunny, yet very rainy thing has got to stop. No amount of rainbows can make up for the fact that I have to wear sunglasses in the rain.
Now let's touch on the humidity. It’s just rude how humid it is. If I wanted to live in a place where it felt like the air was a solid and not a gas, I would move to Florida. I shouldn’t have to carry a machete with me to cut through the thick air! Please, North Carolina weather, how is it that the air can be so dry, yet so moist at the same time?
Dare I even try to talk to you about your snow? Or should I call it “patches of ice and sometimes sleet”. If you are going to call it snow, at least make it fluffy, pretty snow. I have been let down by your false claims of a “winter wonderland” so many times.
Look North Carolina weather, I really think we could be great friends, but not if you continue with the inconsistencies and lies. I’m tired of the 100 degree weather one day and 75 degrees the next. I’m done with the hail in June. I’m sick of the humidity being higher than my IQ. I don’t want to wear a white shirt, only to be hit by a three minute tsunami ever again. I’m not asking you to be perfect, I’m only asking you to be better.
Sincerely,
A fed up North Carolinian
