You know, the place where it rains all the time and we only have like 2 weeks of "hot" weather a year. I mean look at an atlas and see where the UK actually is. It's only a few hundred miles south of the Northern Sea.

This record is phenominal. It's much more so than the recent summer record broken here, when it rained for 29 days in June (2 years ago) in the middle of summer.

Americans and Canadians often get it wrong when they say it always rains here in the UK. That's not true. We just have the most unpredictable weather patterns you could imagine.

I mean, it snowed in May this year, for about 20 seconds, and was then sunny and warm for the rest of the day!

The unpredictability of weather is what New England is famous for. I suppose it is similar to England, however, less rain and grey skies. Although, we've had so much friggin rain this year.. it's rediculous.
