When interviewed for engineering position at Google 6-7 years ago I asked:

"How is the weather at OfficeWhereIAppliedTo?"

It was a really honest question because sunny weather is something that I really care for as I am from mediterian.

The reaction was really positive - everyone was laughing and interview ended in a very positive and relaxed tone.

At the end I didn't get the offer - but that's because I was too slow at solving algorithmic problems.

If I was interviewing someone and they asked what the weather was like at the office, I would just think they'd wasted a question on something they could easily Google.
