I don't think that I have what it would take to become a permanent resident of northern Germany; living in California has bred me for more predictable weather. Our visits to the Hafengeburtstag this past weekend were cold and rainy -- and, of course, not too soon after we got home, it stopped raining and the skies cleared (or at least turned from dark gray to light gray).
This morning, it was sunny with visible blue sky, and warm enough that I decided I didn't need to bring a jacket. About an hour after I got to work, the clouds came in, and it started to rain -- horizontally! Now the rain has stopped, and we're being treated to thunder and lightning.
At least I brought my umbrella; putting it in my bag whenever I go out has pretty much become a reflex action. And skipping my jacket didn't even mark me as the most hopelessly optimistic person in my office ... I feel sorry for my co-worker who decided to wear shorts and a short-sleeved shirt today!

Who needs Malibu? ;-)
