Songs about the weather

Singing makes you feel so good and most people couldn’t live without music in their lives. I love looking at different trends in songs, and patterns with lyrics. This time it’s a list of songs about the weather, focusing on those with types of weather in the title.

Hopefully you’ll find your favourites in the list of weather songs.
