Description
In Faversham, Kent, in 2003, the highest ever temperature in the UK was recorded: a blistering 38.5 °C (101.3 °F). The word ""blirty"" in Scotland describes ""gusts of wind and rain."" The weather is a subject that the British simply cannot leave alone, and for good reason-it's likely that for more than half the year they will experience at least three seasons in one day, so there's always plenty to talk about. This charming miscellany, as wide-ranging and unpredictable as the weather itself, is filled with curious historical facts, amazing statistics, and fascinating anecdotes that will keep.
