You've probably heard that it's always grey and raining in London.
And yes, a lot of times the skies are grey and there is an ever
present drizzle. But sometimes the skies are blue and Londoners
flock from inside like the sun from behind the clouds. Sundresses
and sandals emerge from the peacoats and boots and the parks explode
with people.
Most of the time I spent in London was during a heat wave that had
even those most pessimistic Londoner in summer clothes. Blue skies
pushed us out of the flat into the park for picnic dinners and
watching everyone else enjoy the weather.
However, much like the Ohio weather I'm used to, nothing ever
lasts too long. In one day I was in a thin strapped shirt enjoying
the sun in the morning. In the afternoon clouds moved in and within
the course of 2 hours it has twice rained for about 5 minutes,
interrupted again with blue skies and sun.
So be like a Londoner- be ready for rain at any moment (know where
you can take refuge inside/underground/on a bus) but enjoy the sunny
days.
