English: weather (in general)
German: Atmosphäre
HQ 2.4: The Klingon word for weather, meaning the state of the atmosphere, is the same as the word for atmosphere itself, muD. When inquiring about specific weather conditions at a specific time and/or place, the expression muD Dotlh (literally, "atmosphere status") is used.
st.k (11/1997): Speakers who do this seem to be aware that they are breaking the rules, so they are doing it for rhetorical effect. (It has the same sort of feeling, perhaps, as if someone were to say in English... "It's lightninging and thundering outside"...)
TKD 10: Unlike most speakers of English, who begin conversations with greetings, inquiries about the state of health of the conversants, and remarks about the weather, Klingons tend to begin conversations by simply stating the main points.
