My teacher in his late 60s.

In his 90s now still plays taiji although when the air is really
bad he doesn't come to the park as much.

rain, snow, cold of winter, heat of summer this was no problem for him
and the group there.

When i lived in Beijing all my training/learning were done in my teacher's living room. When i moved to Dalian i went practicing in one of the parks, yes in the heat of the summer and the cold of the winter peoples were out practicing, but at the slightest rain drizzle people shied away

Used to walk by many people doing the same things during my time in Beijing.
Always they seemed to be happy, and enjoying life...
