Weather affects the way we live every day, providing unlimited possibilities for artists to explore. We try to avoid the inconveniences, disasters, and other unpleasant consequences of weather. Dramatic conflicts develop when weather runs contrary to our needs, our desires, and our abilities to overcome adversity. We cannot live without changes in weather. We work and play wherever we can adapt to precipitation, wind currents, temperature and sunlight.
Weather brings the promise of life, but also the threat of death.
All forms of life must adapt to changes in weather or become extinct. We have devised elaborate systems to predict and forecast the weather. We accept forecasts with a certain amount of faith, planning and hoping for the best. Weather affects our economy, creating stress and disaster, profits and losses. We struggle to overcome the relentless energy of storms, floods, wind, and sun.
