UNDER THE WEATHER

Today is World Meteorological Day.

 Meteorology is the branch of science concerned with forecasting the weather. The World Meteorological Organization was established 69 years ago, on 23 March 1950.

 The English language contains several idioms related to weather.

UNDER THE WEATHER


 Someone who is under the weather is slightly unwell or in low spirits (sad or depressed).

 Examples:

 “So, if you start to feel under the weather, help your body to recover by getting more sleep.”

 “GPs in Newham have urged those feeling under the weather this winter to see a pharmacist early on to get expert advice and treatment.”

 “I eat this when I feel under the weather, and also when I want something satisfyingly warm and straightforward.”
