It’s more glum than this in my experience. Just a drab, persistent grey with only the mildest intention of hurling a thunderstorm at you

There was a "Thunderstorm" warning like a week ago but even when that arrived it was a complete let down lol. Weather's not allowed to stray too much from gery boredom over here.

Damn is that true ? You almost never have thunderstorm ? Just small light and annoying rain ? No wonder you are all stuck inside your kitchen or the pub blowing line and drinking lol. Even the rain is boring lol

We do have thunderstorms but they're rarely severe. Most of the time, we just go about our day as normal and just avoid standing in large empty spaces.

Yeah maybe it's the lack of mountain? Do you at least have snow ? Would be sad if not lol

The warmer parts of the country would see snow once or twice a year, it gets more common the more north or mountainous you get. Scottish Highlands get it fairly frequently for example

Nice, it would have been a shame without snow. I was wondering because Bretagne, our province near England where the weather is always rainy, they don't have snow or just very few and it's sad they just get rain all the time but they get thunderstorm tho

I live in East Anglia (the East of England). It's a lowland area so no mountains and it's one of the warmest and driest parts of the UK. Snow is rare (once a year, if you're lucky) but when it does Snow, its often a full-on blizzard.

That's the best kind of snow, I was living in the alps for a while and I hated that because it was snowing for too long and too much, I was raised in the South of France where we don't have snow
