23rd March: World Meteorological Day

On this date in 1950 the United Nations World Meteorological Organisation was established. World Meteorological Day is celebrated on the anniversary. On this day, 10 examples of weather wit:

1. There's a technical term for a sunny, warm day that follows two rainy days. It's called Monday.
2. In the Bible it rained for 40 days, they called it a disaster. In England we call it summer.
3. Heavy rain and gales are forecast and the Met Office issued a yellow snow alert last night.
4. Il fait Froid: Clement weather.
5. An artificial ski slope at Kidgrove closed yesterday because of snow and ice. Daily Telegraph
6. At the height of the gale, the harbourmaster radioed a coastguard on the spot and asked him to estimate the wind speed. He replied that he was sorry, but he didn't have a gauge. However, if it was any help, the wind had just blown his Land Rover off the cliff. Aberdeen Evening Express
7. During a drought the congregation met to pray for rain. "Brothers and Sisters," said the priest, "How can we ask the Lord for rain if we do not have faith? I see not one of you has brought an umbrella."
8. Looks like we’re in for a bad spell of wether.
9. I love the snow - it's the rain you can throw.
10. Weather. The weather forecast is cancelled today because of the weather. Forecasts are obtained from the airport, and roads there from our office were impassable. Whether we get the weather tomorrow depends on the weather.
