Business English - Small Talk

Small talk for every season

Weather has been a preferred subject of small talk for centuries, and with good reason. There is always some kind of weather, it’s not entirely predictable, and it affects everyone’s lives. Do you have the right vocabulary for the season?

Why talk about weather?

Discussing the weather is such a common behavior that it has become a joke used on TV to show that someone is shy or boring. But people keep doing it, because it’s simply the easiest way to begin a conversation with people you don’t know very well. Whether you’re a medieval farmer trying to grow cabbages or a modern businessperson trying to get to work on time, you experience weather every day, and you can be sure that you have that in common with everyone around you. As an added bonus for language learners, everyone already knows what weather is like, so there’s little pressure to be eloquent.
