Last month was the least sunny August in England since whenever. I have seen two different years quoted - 1929 and 1942 - but whichever is correct it hardly matters to most of us. Many people have had miserable weather for their summer holidays, especially those who stayed in England for whatever reason.
But really we have little to complain about weather-wise. We don't get hurricanes, monsoons, forest fires or snow to the extent that other places do, and our climate is perfect for growing apples. Actually, somebody once said that in England we don't have a climate, just weather. Whether or not it's going to rain.
Which reminds me of the weather forecast in south-west Ireland. If you can see the mountains it's going to rain. If you can't see the mountains it's already raining.
And it's raining again today.
