It was supposed to be 31 degrees today. But it’s not. It’s 18. The meteorologists were wrong by 13 degrees. This is starting to become a routine — I check the weather forecast for the next 5 days — and it is never right. I expect strong sun on Wednesday, I get rain. I bring my raincoat on Thursday because the forecasters tell me so and I’m sweating in the sun. How can this be? Damn — it started raining again, this time I didn’t even bring an umbrella and I have a class to teach in 5 minutes. I expect various patterns of weather to arise here during my 1 year stay in Novosibirsk.
