What on Earth does "Weather or not.." mean. Of course there's weather.
What's hard is that Northern and Southern hemispheres are self-evident because they are constant. However as the Earth spins on a North/South axis then there is no such thing as Eastern and Western hemispheres as they are constantly changing, making it a totally arbitrary thing. Obviously I understand the convention but that doesn't make it any more sensible.
I think everyone else can see that, your ridiculous weather reference kind of explains why you wouldn't.
