What The Weather Will Be Like

This detail might not be readily obvious, and it’s true that this won’t affect every Valentine’s celebration, depending on what you’re doing.

But if you live in a sunny place and are imagining a romantic drink on a terrace, a surprise downpour of rain could quickly put a damper on that plan. Or if your Februaries are prone to blizzard weather, then maybe that chilled soup for the starter or that ice cream sundae you thought about for dessert won’t be the most welcome ideas.

The weather will affect both of your moods and cravings, far more than you might imagine, so try to pick food that will complement it rather than fight against it. That one little touch can make all the difference in setting the mood and making it a magical evening.
