Britons and their obsession with the weather.

A study suggests more than half of Britons bring the weather up in conversation every six hours Photo: PA
Weather - its a thing of  an obsession for the Brits. Back then in Malaysia, there was not a day in my life 
where I see myself going through the weather forecast, and I could remember stepping foot on Sheffield's soil, only to be unpleasantly surprised by the gushing, chill-to-the bone wind, and since then, I've checked BBC weather, every single day. 

You know, you could ask any locals here on what the weather in the summer is about, and their response would be,"darling, its pretty much unpredictable". Yes, why not? You can have the hottest day in the summer (oh yes, take out the tan) and the coldest day next to each other. Trust me, but BBC Weather is probably the most efficient weather forecast you can ever find, with more than half of Britons checking the weather at least once a day, you have to be pretty good at it, don't you? Well, talking about the weather is one thing that makes Sheffield and perhaps the entire United Kingdom special, other than tea and being "overly polite". 

One thing, "heavy showers" are more of a drizzle here, so its the wind that you'll have to worry about.
