'''''Girls and Weather''''' is the debut album from the [[Devon]]-based band [[The Rumble Strips]]. It was released on September 10, 2007 by the [[Island Records]] sub-label [[Fallout Records]].

[[AllMusic]] reviewer Katherine Fulton said that "happy melodies coupled with bittersweet lyrics are a running theme throughout the album", being quick to note this is a good thing because "it's a formula that works well for the Rumble Strips."<ref name=AM>{{cite web |url= {{AllMusic|class=album|id=r1111853|pure_url=yes}}|title= Girls and Weather review|accessdate=2008-07-23 |last=Fulton |first=Katherine|publisher=allmusic |date= }}</ref> She sums up the album by saying it "loses neither steam nor charm throughout; it's an album for adults who want an excuse to behave like kids again."<ref name=AM/> [[NME]] reviewer Jamie Fullerton focuses in particular on the frontman, indicating that the "cheesy, into-the-sunset fantasy is just another indication of [[Charlie Waller (British musician)|Waller's]] total detachment from the current grot-rock set, just as he's detached from the cretins who brand him a [[Dexys Midnight Runners|Dexy]]'s photocopier."<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.nme.com/reviews/the-rumble-strips/8952|title= The Rumble Strips album review|accessdate=2008-07-23 |last=Fullerton |first=Jamie|publisher=NME|date=2007-09-17}}</ref>
