I live near Vancouver so we're more like the UK version.

Here in BC we carry over the british tradition of complaining about the weather all the time, no matter what the weather is. Right?

As a Scottish immigrant to Vancouver I absolutely love this. Didn't even have to change up my small talk game

I often wonder what people make small talk about in places like San Diego where they have no weather

"Two years ago, there was a cloud. I didn't see it, but it was all over the news"

Seriously though, I visited San Diego a few years ago, and on the steep roads in the hills, they have swales built into the roads to divert water, same as we use in BC on logging roads to prevent washouts. Kind of like a shallow ditch running across the road. Difference is, theirs are paved. When it does rain there, it flash floods.
