London weather is different from the rest of the United Kingdom.
Romantic movies from London always has nice, soft falls of snow - think Bridget Jones Diary and Love, Actually.
In London we've been lucky in the last couple of years to get one or two days of snow in winter. The rest of the United Kingdom, yes, London no.
When I first arrived - the first two years here were different degrees of overcast weather - now we're actually getting proper seasons. We had a couple of years of heatwaves in summer (read: normal hot weather elsewhere) and a bit of snow in winter. Cool (or rather hot then cool!),
London's also known for it's rain - well that's wrong too normally. In the normal course of events, it is never more than drizzle. I didn't need a raincoat until I went to Paris!
Well, these last few weeks, we've had some fun weather. Swelteringly hot weather, followed by thunder storms and torrential rain. Hey, I've got soaked twice but what fun. Yesterday, there was so much thunder and lightening that my view East looked like the East End was being bombed like in World War Two!
Cheap entertainment anyway - especially when 2 minutes after I'd said to my visiting mother, "I don't mind a bit of rain", the heavens opened once again and I got soaked.
Ha, ha.
