What’s wrong with you, Vancouver? Why can’t you be mild like you were advertised to be? People come here looking for a mild climate with gentle seasons — it’s called a temperate  rainforest for a reason, you know. What’s with the water spouts and the five second thunder-and-lightning storms? First, it’s humid enough to make my hair frizzy and hot enough to burn patches of my skin. Then, it becomes so dreary and foggy that we have to cultivate zen-like inner peace just to make it through the bitter winter.

The increasing intensity of the sun is also pretty worrying. Global warming fries our overwrought brains with searing 40-degree summers. The erratic weather has us all types of itchy and sensitive in Vancouver, with weather patterns flip-flopping between hot and cold.  I just want this city to go back to its pristine, mellow self. 

Vancouver, your weather is more sensitive than the course planning of a student under academic probation — get it together!
