Everyone says that the British are obsessed with the weather. It's our favourite topic of conversation. We call it an ice-breaker. British people love to be friendly... but it's difficult to talk with people you don't know, so we state the obvious! The weather is one experience we share with everyone so it's an easy place to begin.

To start a conversation with someone you don't know, tell them about the weather!

Here are some common phrases we use to start:

When it's cold -
- "It's cold today."
- "It's freezing!"

When it's wet -
- "It's raining cats and dogs."
- "Good weather for ducks."

When it's hot -
- "It's roasting out there."
- "It's boiling."
- "The sun's splitting the stones."

Just remember that even if you say 'It's a lovely day today' they will probably reply 'Yes, but wasn't the rain awful yesterday'. We just love to complain! Just agree...

Give it a try: how's the weather right now?
