Years ago I noticed that I feel great during a storm and awful during fair weather. Then it took me a few years to find out what exactly was going on. In the end I could pin it down to air pollution. So yes, I have certainly developed a keen eye for hazy skies

I think there are many people who suffer significantly from air pollution but don't realize they do, for a large part because our governments are reluctant to pay much attention to the issue because of the huge economic interests involved (it's much easier to launch a witch hunt against smokers for example). Over here in the Netherlands the government used to categorically deny any problem with air quality until the EU threatened to block building projects. Then all of a sudden every second civil servant was involved in writing air quality reports. I have to say that things have gotten less bad since the introduction of the soot filters for Diesel engines. Since the when I look out of the window on a calm day I see a black-and-green forest on the hill 1 km from here rather than a bright poison blue one!

Yes, I love the rain, always have!

I wish I didn't. If I inherit a huge sum of money I think I'll immediately emigrate to either (a) Iceland or (b) Patagonia

Patagonia is the southernmost tip of South America. There's a Chilean town there called Punta Arenas. From Wikipedia: "Among Chileans the city is also known for its strong winds (up to 130 km/hour). Winds tend to be strongest during the summer when city officials put up ropes in the downtown area to assist with unique wind currents created by the buildings." No, I don't think that any air pollution stands much of a chance there
