If You're Not Happy With the Weather...
Wait Five Minutes. The weather in *insert city name* never lasts for the long!
Yeah, yeah...every weatherman in the cities I've lived (extreme north, midwest, deep south) has said that. But Rotterdam is the first place where it is actually the truth!
I've kept meticulous note of the weather pattern today. Ask no questions why "today" starts at noon, please.
12:00 p.m. - 12:05 - heavy rain
12:05 - 12:09:55 - hail
12:09:55 - 12:10:45 - sunshine
12:10:45 - 12:15 - light rain
12:15 - 12:19:55 - sunshine from the east side of "The Attic"; light rain on the west side
12:19:55 - 12:25 - sunshine
12:25-12:29:59 - ominous clouds and whistling wind
12:30 - 12:35 - light rain
OK - you have to see my point. There was a period of non-rain or hail long enough to walk to the store, let it rain while shopping, and then brave the bone-chilling wind on the way back from the store. And for that, I am thankful.

You can't generalize from 35 minutes of observing the weather. (Besides, I know why you started observing at noon.) If you could, I could say that weather in Chicago goes from warm for November (50s F) to freezing (20s F). Yes, we're having our first snow of the season today, and it's really windy. Winter bites back.
