Ever since the Royal Navy IPWO Course @ Portsmouth in the mid 1980s, I have learnt that the UK weather remained as a subject for conversation. That year, I was grossly short changed, as we had only 3 days of sunshine which the local British referred it as "summer". Year after year, that perception was re-enforced as the weather remained a surprise (when there were sudden clear skies). Otherwise, it's wet, gloomy, windy, cold, even snow with icy roads and roadside slush, gloomy and more gloomy wet days. This morning walk along the Thames was once again a wet, gloomy one with wet shoes and chilling wind on a Spring morning. Hey !! It's one of the better days !!! 😊😊😊
