Grim prospects

I was feeling all hopeful when I came out of the gym to find out that the sun had come out but tomorrows forcast for Wiltshire isn't looking good for a 4:30 wedding. And I want to wear suede boots. Must remember to pack my umbrella. By the way, is it just me, or can you choke on air? It was blowing so strongly this morning that every now and then I found myself doing a mini-gag (just what you wanted to know, eh) just because of the force of the air.

Also, someone who knows more than me (or lives elsewhere), tell me this. Is the east wind always cold? Or are there some places where the west wind is bitter and the east balmy? Is the south wind always a warm one, or are winds from the equator always warm? Enlighten me.

The south wind is not always warm

In the south of Brazil where we used to live, quite near Argentina & Paraguay, the south wind was the cold wind, the equivalent of the north wind here.

Of course as that's below the equator, the idea of the south wind as a wind from the equator is not correct. If that's what you meant.

I was wondering if the fact that the south wind here blows from the equator up to us is why it's warm. In which case I'd expect the situation to be reversed on the other side.
