If thats when Wimbledon is on you will need your rain coat and umbrella 100%.
Also dont forget the ear plugs as Cliff will be warbling!

I've heard that the British climate is similar to that of Melbourne. Quite likely you will need a brolly. If it doesn't rain, you can use to to shield your complexion from the harmful rays of the sun.

As was pointed out in a thread yesterday....June is always most likely to be wet as it is when the UK has it's own 'monsoon season'.

It has always been this way and this year is not unusual.

we are going to Uk for a holiday on Friday and I have repacked my bag to include warmer clothes.
I am taking all winter things for bub, which I had hoped to leave behind..

Bring umbrella's, wellies, raincoats and maybe an inflatable boat. Some parts have had a months worth of rain in 2 days.
It's not all that cold and has warmed up a bit, you probably won't need really thick winter clothes but a jumper or two would be a good idea.
Bring sunscreen too!

It seems to have done nothing but rain for days and is pretty chilly too. Hopefully it will cheer up soon.
