If rainy days and Mondays get you down

UG先生ご指名いただきありがとうございます。このセリフは,カーペインターズの"RAINY DAYS AND MONDAYS LYRICS"という歌の中に登場しますWho Sang "Rainy Days and Mondays"? Carpenters。歌詞を知っている方にとっては,注目する開始の文になっているのですね。以前取り上げた,天気を話題とした同じ"New York Today"の記事を再掲載しておきます。(Ume)

Good morning. Kind of.

If rainy days and Mondays get you down, there is a high statistical probability that you will not like today very much.

It rained a bit overnight. It will rain some more after lunch. This evening, thunderstorms will bring pelting downpours.

Not only that, but there is also a 100 percent chance of Monday until midnight.

And Tuesday, they say, will be just as bad, with soaking wet air from the Gulf of Mexico periodically getting wrung out like a sponge.

A flash flood watch is in effect from noon today through Tuesday night as “multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms” move across the region.

More than two inches may fall by the time this ends on Wednesday.
