[QUOTE=JenniGee;7881451]Anyone who either lives in, or goes to either Devon or Cornwall & thinks they will get good weather is deranged or deluded - or maybe a combination of both. They are the wettest counties in England & the best chance of a decent few days are in May.

Re: Yet another disappointing "summer" in the UK comes to a close...
I see more interesting atmospheric and sky events here than I did in the UK. White fluffy clouds against blue backgrounds are a regular occurrence here. Especially love it when they're under-lit by the sinking sun. The ring of Venus is another regular occurrence here. Don't ever remember seeing that in the UK. I've seen more daytime moons and more conjunctions between the planets and the moon. The smilie face being the most impressive. At night the planets are visible more often and I've seen more shooting stars here than in the UK despite the difference in residence.
I am in Essex.
It really does depend on where you live. They were discussing it on GMTV yesterday and weather experts said theat there is a huge difference between temps in the south east an the rest of the UK. Especially so comparing with the NW of England.
My daughter was telling me yesterday that this particular area is renknowned for milder temps and less rainfall than many other areas. Even last winter when a lot of the UK had lots of snow, this area only had one light dusting, which upset the kids no end!!

I reckon an Essex girl would have a different understanding of a dry summer!

Or "beauty is bought by judgement of the eye, Not utter'd by base sale of chapmen's tongues" as some famous guy once wrote.

Sadly July and August have been wet in Scotland,however since March overall i think the weather has been fine.When it's not I just go to fine restaurants , art galleries,museums etc,the things Oz is very short of.
The lushness of the Uk is a joy to behold,green fertile land and grass that you can walk through Anyway,there is only inappropriate clothing.

Are you going to lock your bike up outside the Scunthorpe College of Art?
