The weather here on the south coast of England never really changes much. We get pretty mild winters and rather cool summers as a rule and all our weather tends to be dictated by mid-Atlantic pressure patterns which are rather ponderous. The only time you ever really get extreme variations in weather is when the wind changes and starts blowing in from the east, meaning we get cold Scandinavian air rather than the nice warm Atlantic stuff but that only happens rarely (Although the country goes to shit at the first sign of frost, let alone a full on snow storm).

A few years ago (2006, I think) there was a heatwave in May-June down in the southeast which lasted around two weeks. In and around Canterbury it was 30˚C-ish during the day; totally unprecedented. People were walking down the high street shirtless, kids at my school wound up in hospital from the heat (they were late in phasing in summer uniform that year), the fridges in the cafeteria failed. It was kind of sweet when we had time off, but I was in the middle of my GCSEs at the time, and holy
fuck there is no experience quite so draining on body and mind as three straight hours sat in an exam hall marinating in your own perspiration.
How ya doing, buddy?
