• I felt under the weather after walking in the rain without an umbrella. o This sentence is correct because "under the weather" is used to describe feeling unwell, which is a common outcome of being exposed to rain and cold. • II. He was under the weather all weekend because he caught a cold. o This is also a correct use of the idiom. A cold directly relates to feeling unwell, which is the meaning of "under the weather." • The ship sailed under the weather flag to warn other vessels. o This is an incorrect use of the idiom.
