Although the ceiling doesn’t change to mimic the weather outside in the Great Hall section of the exhibit, you do have the option of sitting in Hagrid’s oversized chair in the set of Hagrid?...
...certainly use the good p.r. that will flow from Wednesday's picture-perfect test launch of its Ares I-X prototype rocket, which is being designed to replace the aging space shuttle and ignite a new era in human space exploration. Mission managers took quick advantage of changing weather conditions to blast the rocket through a small hole in upper-level clouds that passed briefly over Launch...

Last year I could barely see Girl Talk during his abbreviated time onstage, and the frigid weather made it difficult to hang around the tailgate parties for very long.

More critically, chopper pilots are commonly expected to fly in hot weather at high altitudes, where less-dense air offers them less control over their aircraft...
