Weather Reports
Keeping abreast of the local weather is another great use for local TV stations as it can quite often happen that the weather in one town can be completely different from that in a neighboring town!
With the right information to hand about what the weather is most likely to be doing over the next 24 hours or more, you can plan your day better and be ready for anything that mother nature wants to throw at you. That may be anything from rain, thunderstorms, hail, snow storms, high winds, lightning or if you're lucky, a nice warm sunny day!
Climate Control
OK, we all know that no one can realistically control the climate they are living in aside from upping sticks and moving to another part of the world, but that's only with regards to what is happening outside your house or the building you happen to be occupying. Inside is a very different story.
If it gets cold outside, you can heat your home or office or workplace with a great number of different heating devices from small, portable heaters to very large, whole building central heating systems. The reality is that you don't need to be cold indoors as long as you can afford to pay for the installation and the fuel to run it.
The same goes for those times it gets very hot outside. You don't need to suffer in great heat when you can simply have installed an air conditioning system of some description, whether it be a large, whole house system or a collection of smaller, vented individual or portable and vent free air conditioner units even.
There is actually a lot of information available about both types of cooling solution on the Internet. It is simply a case of hunting around for what you need to know, or take advantage of the helpful links provided by articles such as this that reference the best sources of vented or vent free air conditioning: https://sites.google.com/view/ventlessportableswampcoolers is a good authoratative example in this case. Or perhaps you may want to take a look this other interesting article covering portable AC units here: ceramihvac.com/portable-air-conditioners/ as another very good example of the best way of maintaining a cool environment inside a home or work space!
By being able to control the climate in the home or office, you really do have a say in your environment. At least that is true for when you are in the small pocket of the interior of your dwelling or work space.
Coping with Outdoor Weather
Of course it is a different story entirely once you leave the safety and comfort of your home. Then you have to encounter whatever mother nature decides to provide you with whether that is nice or not so nice, or downright horrible!
Sure, you can stay fairly dry when it rains by dressing appropriately and staying under an umbrella, but when the wind blows hard while it rains, it can sometimes be difficult to keep the umbrella from blowing inside out or getting taken from your hands and blown down the street!
Naturally, when it's cold you can wrap up in lots of warm layers of clothing with a waterproof outer layer to keep any rain off so you remain snug and cozy inside. However, when it's hot, you can only peel off so many clothes and just let your skin be cooled by the evaporation of sweat in the breeze.
Keep Cool when it's Hot
But what if there's no breeze? Well, sometimes you just have to make your own and grab one of those little hand-held fans that are battery operated to create an artificial breeze. Or do like the Spanish women do and use a retractable hand fan, although some will argue that the effort on waving the fan can cause the body to heat up more than the cooling effect of the fan can cool!
In really intense heat, all you can do outdoors is stay in the shade where possible and keep drinking plenty of liquids to keep your self hydrated, while moving around as little as possible. Sitting still to watch TV on your iPad is probably a good idea unless you'd rather read a book or just get your head down for a nice long nap!
