Kotowaza watch: Fickle or changeable as the autumn weather

Autumn in Japan is beautiful. The humidity of the summer gives way to cool crisp days, but the sting of the dry winter has yet to begin. However, the weather is hard to predict.

The summer rains can take you by surprise and ruin your weekend plans or you can have a wonderful bright and dry day.

So people in Japan will say that autumn weather easily changes.

  • 秋の気こうが変わりやすいです。(あきのきこうがかわりやすい です。)                    The autumn weather is unpredictable. 
  • よく変わる秋の天気 (よくかわる あきの てんき)often changing autumn weather
You can use the second phrase to compare something or someone. For instance, you can say that someone's opinion easily changes.

  • あの人の意見は よく変わる秋の天気のようです。(あのひと の いけんは よくかわるのあきのてんきのようです。)
  • That person's opinion changes like the autumn weather.
