Are you boiling hot, freezing cold, or soaking wet? Is the wind howling or is there a gentle sea breeze cooling you as you sip a pina colada on the beach? Feel free to use this section to let other nomads know how the weather is where you are in this wonderful country, and how you are planning to make the most...
