what defines foul weather??what some people like, some hate and vise sersa.. cold canadian hates the cold, jammie hates the cold. ilnc hates heat. and so on.... me i will settle for 75f to 80f thats just right.. only weather here in the us vi that i would consider foul is a hurricane lashing us. or when it gets into the 95f degrees range in temp that i would consider foul weather. but i know richard loves them hot humid days
A cool spell in a Caribbean winter, that often feels "foul."
Any temp under 80 F midday (between 11am to 4pm?), especially when accompanied by cloud, rain or wind
Toronto's summers are usually too cool for my tastes, so I like to go to the Caribbean in winter not only to get out of the cold,
but to also to get a chance to experience the summer weather I hoped to see. Most of the time I'm there I get what I want anyways, however; a heat index of 90+ F.
For me, what counts as "foul weather" is very variable, depending on my mood.
I view it as weather that causes a drastic change for the day's plans, hopes or expectations, in a negative way.
Ex:
70 F in March would be cause for a drastic change of plans, but it would never be unwelcome.
70 F in July by contrast could be viewed as foul, especially if one had plans to go to the beach for swimming.

When is winter weather not foul in Vancouver, BC.... we've had rain here for the past 3 weeks almost non-stop... ugh...
Too long a period of rain duration is always a bummer, regardless of the temps.
I remember a few Junes where it'd rained 27 days, and if you counted "rainy hours," it'd probably number at least 100.
*Your rainy-misery has helped keep Toronto mild, so I hear...

Agreed...too much rain and grey skies makes people depressed regardless of temperature. There are a disproportionately high number of people here who suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder....it's not that great.
Yeah, I heard you guys back in Toronto have had a mild fall at least compared to the average temps for this time of year. It will be interesting to see how things play out for the rest of the winter...
We've had foul weather here for the past 4-5 weeks. Raining and windy everyday. Crappy 50F temps. Sun shines for five minutes, then it starts raining again.
Today we've had plenty of hail but no lightning (which is forecasted), wind gusts over 60mph, had gusts over 70mph on Sunday and last night. I'd love if it was either scorching hot or freezing cold - at least it would be a change from this crap.
It is 5c / 41f, drizzle, rain, showers, cloudy and windy with a wind chill of -2c.
