UNDER THE WEATHER

Coming back home from the sunny Málaga is hard but it didn't help at all to get rainy days AGAIN when the spring time was out there.
Anyway, the weather! (always an easy topic for small talk)
There are zillions of weather idioms in the English language, but I'd like to introduce here the ones I found more useful:


-TO FEEL/BE UNDER THE WEATHER: not to feel very well. Feel sick

- TO SAVE IT FOR A RAINY DAY: to keep it for when it will be needed


- TO HAVE THE HEAD IN THE CLOUDS: to have unrealistic ideas

- TO HAVE A FACE LIKE THUNDER: to be really angry


- IT NEVER RAINS BUT IT POURS: to have really big problems

- TO CHASE RAINBOWS: to go after something that will never happen

- A STORM IN A TEACUP: a person exaggerates their problems

- EVERY CLOUD HAS A SILVER LINING: there is always something positive about it
