| The mercury is going to drop on Saturday. Make sure you've got your furnace oil stocked up and pack the wool hat and gloves if you're traveling! |

I had read an interesting article about that question, why does it rain on the weekends, and the answer had to do with traffic patterns. This study was done, looking at weather patterns and days of the week and the conclusion was that because of the number of cars driving in metropolitan areas during the week was much higher (jobs) then on the weekends and the heat from the engines/exhaust/movement, etc was enough to raise the temperatures to keep the rain at bay, but then on the weekends, the drop in temperatures was enough to bring the rain.
Interesting article, saw it probably 10 years ago, don't really remember the whole thing with it, but that's the gist of it. Of course, this was in the United States which has it's own unique weather patterns, but the same probably holds true, relative to the weather patterns here. |

Just killed 2 of them in my bedroom (lots of blood inside  )
Maybe there is a special Korean breed that simply does not freeze?
In many respects Korean mosquitos are identical to Korean girls.
EDIT: I killed 2 mosquitos, not 2 girls! |

I have noticed this for a while now in Korea. At first I thought I was imagining it but when I actually looked at weather patterns for 20 consequtive weeks, by far the majority of the rain and cloud was clustered around the weekends. Typically it gets overcast on Friday afternoons, followed by rain on Friday nights and Saturday. Sunday is likewise gloomy until late evening when suddenly good weather breaks through. From Monday to Thursday you have bright and fine conditions...when everyone is stuck in the office working.

I think it may also have a lot to do with the amount of air traffic. If you remember, the US experienced a dramatic weather change over 9/11 and for the days that the airspace was cleared. The weather was bright and fine, the temperature cooled. Scientist proved that this was due to the lack of constant airplanes causing spreading trails and condensation. Its a fact: human activity influences the weather to a greater degree than most people realise. |

Didn't you know? Kimchi also prevents again death by freezing! |
