Sure, plenty of Meetup’s offerings occur indoors (we’re looking at you, Magic the Gathering meetup), but the site also offers thousands of options for those looking to explore the outside world. Consider kayaking, hiking or photography meetups to make the most of the sunshine. Groups like book clubs and language conversation clubs may also be holding court outside in weather like this.
