I never used to wear a jacket in Spring in the UK.

Re: Spring in England
I rarely wear a jacket even in the winter to be honest, a sweatshirt at most.

Re: Spring in England
The only time I have ever needed a winter coat is when I'm at a football match.
The rest of the time I either wear a jumper, or I sometimes press an old Driza-a-bone or Barbour (look Mum I have one of each!) into service to get me to the station or office.
If I am walking/skiiing/ out in the mountains then I wear a technical jacket over fleece or down.

Re: Spring in England
Some of wear coats while the rest of you are in shirt sleeves. Why? Cos some of us have weird metabolisms, some of us do not adapt well to temp changes, and some of us are actually freezing when the people around us are cooking. There are days when I am so sick I am wearing a fleece in 30 degrees and am still shiveribg.
Do you know the phrase that pisses me off more than any other? 'Aren't you hot wearing that?'
No, I'm wearing what I am comfortable in and I am just fed up with people who think I should dress to their feelings, rather than my own.
Sorry, rant over.....

Re: Spring in England
As for the weather, we were so lucky - no rain, clear blue skies and bright sunshine for the whole trip. Some days were a little on the cool side mainly due to a cold wind, but other days were very mild. You can wrap up against the cold, but even so I did not need a big winter coat, just a jacket - layering is the answer.
I saw lots of people in shorts and t-shirts eating ice creams in places as far apart as Whitby, Dartmouth and Bushy Park, but not so much in central London, except for the day of the marathon. I didn't think it was really the weather for shorts, but people should wear whatever they feel comfortable in.
The overall impression of the UK was very positive and I am now feeling very homesick.

Re: Spring in England
I have just come back from the UK and, like you, I had forgotten how beautiful it is in spring. Everywhere was so green and all the blossom was out which looked amazing, especially the wisteria which was in bloom everywhere.
