WEATHER TALK L e o n : Lovely day today, isn’t it? G e o r g e : It is. There’s hardly a cloud in the sky in fact. L e o n : We’ll have a heat wave, I fear. It must be 25 degrees in the shade. G e o r g e : It is very close today. Not a leaf is stirring. L e o n : There’s hardly a breath of air. G e o r g e : By the way, I’ve just read the weatherforecast in my newspaper here. L e o n : What does it say? G e o r g e : (reading) “Pressure will remain high to the south west of the British Isles. There will be occasional rain or drizzle, but bright weather with a few scattered showers will spread to England and Wales.” L e o n : I fear a thunderstorm is coming. G e o r g e : The sky is overcast and the sun is going in. L e o n : It looks like rain. Actually it’s beginning to rain. And I have left my umbrella at home. It never rains but it pours! G e o r g e : Fortunately enough, I’ve got my folding umbrella with me. Let me put it up. L e o n : What a tremendous clap of thunder! G e o r g e : And what a flash of lightning! L e o n : But the English have a saying about the weather: If you don’t like it now, just wait a bit. 220 G e o r g e : Look! It’s clearing up. The clouds are lifting. L e o n : It has stopped raining. Look at this wonderful rain bow! G e o r g e : Bright sunshine again. Now I know why English weather is something worth talking about.
