The Weather!

The weather - always a problem in Britain! I heard recently that the reason why most people leave Britain or go to live in another country is because of the weather! Not sure how true that it is! British weathers great isn't it? Or not? I think its so unpredictable, like when it snows in April, then rains constantly through June and july, but then its hot in October (well hot to us?) And why is it that when theres a tiny bit of sun we all seem to get our bikinis, suncream and sunglasses on and go sunbath, just because it 17 degrees outside? Its actually quite nice at the moment, the last few days have been 'hot' in our terms, probably ...  Read the complete review

Is it just me who is fascinated by the weather? I think it started when I was younger. Looking out for the snow to arrive in the winter or long hot summer days in July and August. Back then it was a lot more difficult. It was the radio/tv and the newspapers. Nowadays with the internet it is a lot more exciting. I remember listening to a weather forecast on the BBC back in July 2003 when the presenter was showing some excitement in records potentially being broken. I checked out a few sites and the weather forums and they were all saying the same. So I banged on £100 at 8/1. with William Hill. Over the days to come temperatures reached 97 and 98 degrees and ...  Read the complete review

Well we have snow - not a lot - maybe 4 inches but you would think the end of the world had arrived! Last weekend the shops were running out of milk, bread and all sorts of other goods because...................... we were expecting snow! and yes - we have snow and all the schools are closed, traffic is at a standstill and the emergency services are stretched to breaking point. Is there anything good about snow? Well you can make a snowman or two, you can sledge, have snowball fights and admire the fresh newness of the day. You can also get stuck in a snow drift - well in Scotland maybe, - fall over and break a leg, although that tends to be on ...  Read the complete review

I live in the North of Scotland (40 miles North of Inverness) and people are not always right when they say it only rains in Scotland. Our weather is probably the most unpredictable weather in the whole of the UK and it has been known quite often to have all seasons in one day. But if the weather up here really bothered us that much, would we not move!?? It does rain a lot, but we also get the sun in the summer which is nice too but why is it no matter what weather we have people always complain about it e.g 'it always rains why can't ever be nice' so the next day the sun comes out and then all you hear is 'I wish the sun would go away it's too hot and way ...  Read the complete review

it always seem to be raining where i live :( wettest part of the country i think (cumbria!), it seems to be quite warm here though, i havent lived here that long im from the north east originally and comparing cumbria to the north east i would say its wetter but warmer. But when it is sunny here, i appreciate it more which is a good thing and a rare thing! haha isn't it funny how the weather affects our moods and lives so much!?! it affects what you can do eg. cant do washing, walking or go out anywhere when its raining without getting soaked through! it have you noticed how much happier everyone is on a sunny day. sayin that though how many of us are really ...  Read the complete review
