Weather 101


   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.
