Spring, Summer or Autumn?

I do not know it. The weather is crazy. May be that the fanatics of the Climate Change are right, though I have some doubts. Whenever we hear peculiar news about the weather such as droughts, severe storms, heat or cold waves, etc., they usually add the tagline: this has not happened for "x" years, which means that this already had happened before, it is to say this is not new.

What is true is that the summer began yesterday and we had a more or less warm day, but this morning the weather is awful. All sky is covered with clouds. These clouds are spitting some drops from time to time. It is cold. And the people?, from my window I see some people wearing T-shirt and other with sweater or even a light jacket. It is something that I have been watching these days in a special way. This have happened since always but, now, is when it is clearer that the people acts by instinct. At these dates wearing light cloths is the correct, doesn't it?. Apparently not. The other day I heard someone to say that he was turning the heating on yet and we are in June in Spain. It is something incredible.

In the north the torrential rain and the thaw are causing spectacular landslides and huge damages in roads, pavements, buildings and it is destroying small villages, campings, etc. Are falling hailstorms which seem more suitable of an catastrophic american film.

In short, it isn´t very normal what is happening.

  1. I do not UNDERSTAND it. The weather is crazy. MaYBe [] the fanatics of [] Climate Change are right, though I have some doubts. Whenever we hear peculiar* news about the weather such as droughts, severe storms, heat or cold waves, etc., they usually add the tagline*: this has not happened for "x" years, which means that this already had happened before, it is to say this is not new.

    What is true is that the summer began yesterday and we had a more or less warm day, but this morning the weather is awful*. All OF THE sky is covered with clouds. These clouds are spitting some drops from time to time. It is cold. And the people?, from my window I see some people wearing T-shirtS and otherS with sweaterS or even a light jacket.

    In short, it isn´t very normal what is happening.

    Most of these are matters of style rather than grammatical errors.

  2. Thanks Matt. I hope I can remember this vocabulary, but, I am afraid than it is a passing vocabulary. I occasionally am checking some books and I always have forgotten some words. I suppose it is something what happens everybody. We need a more frequent use. I intend to write more this summer. (¡El que avisa no es traidor!).
