I don't really care unless there's going to be an extreme drop/rise in tempature, so much that it would mess up my normal schedule. For example, I want to know if it's blizzarding tomorrow because then I'll know to leave a little early due to traffic build up. Or if it's going to be 95 degrees out, I want to know that so I can dress appropriately. I don't follow it to the degree though. As someone who works as a cashier.. I find myself ALWAYS "chit chatting" about it with customers (they bring it up, not me) - as a form of small talk, and I always feel stupid when they'll ask things like "so is it supposed to be warm this weekend?" and all that stuff because I NEVER follow along with the news and NEVER visit the weather channel. lol. So, overall, I couldn't care less except for the EXTREMES, like snow, rain, or humidity.

Dressing up appropriately! Maezee you have given a very good and an important reason i must say, i never thought of that while putting this topic on board. Also, weather is a hot topic of discussion and sometimes we do need to follow that only for chit chat :)

I think it's good to know the weather depending on your plans. Like if you plan on travelling or camping or having a bbq then knowing the weather would come in handy.

True captainmorgan! Weather becomes important when it comes to arranging some parties, or going on long drives, planning for weekends. So i usually keep a check on weather forecast for similar reasons.

When I used to live in a tropical country, I did not bother about the weather forecast. Since it was always relatively the same. Since I moved to North America, the weather channel has been a great help. It helps me plan my days. It also helps on what kind of clothes to wear. Specially at night, when the temperature really drops to freezing.
