weather friend

weather friend - an acquaintance with whom the friendship does not progress beyond discussuing more banal topics or exclusively "the weather".

John's just a "weather friend"; it's not as if I know anything about him other than he's hoping for good weather this weekend.

Space Weather

1. The kind of weather they have in space. It's pretty consistent, making for easy work as a space meteorologist.

2. Solar activity, geomagnetic storms, and upper atmospheric events pertinent to the Earth that can influence climate and weather patterns.

3. Sadly but humorously enough the best two words in "Blue Harvest". On par is the muzak rendition of the Imperial March: "Imperial Elevator"

"What's the weather like out there, Ollie?"

"SPACE WEATHER!"

See fair-weather friend. Someone who is agreeable only when the prevailing conditions are pleasant. Unreliable when the going gets rough.

Ken Stratton is not a fair-weather sailor
