DEBATE this text: 

 the main reason is that the British are chronically shy and use the weather as a conversational totem, allowing conversation and agreement between strangers, without having to potentially invade their personal space (as described by Kate Fox in her book Watching the English).

 The most fundamental rule of 'weatherspeak' is to agree with the first speaker, even if you then immediately qualify it in such a way as indicates the opposite, eg, 'It's too hot today', 'yeah, it is, but I don't mind it myself'. Also it is often the only "safe" topic for any given two strangers to talk about and not risk some sort of argument. In the UK everything is Serious Business to someone. It's been said that the British have only two hobbies, complaining about the weather, and arguing.

       Quotes

- Did you notice the heavy fog last night? - No, nothing wakes me.

Morecambe and Wise

Whenever people talk to me about the weather, I always feel certain that they mean something else

Oscar Wilde

The English winter - ending in July, to recommence in August.

It is easy to understand why the most beautiful poems about England in the spring were written by poets living in Italy at the time.

 ===    script     =====

I'm sorry to report, folks, but the

rest of today is gonna be fekkin’ dreadful

have a look at this, look: rain pelting

down from fekkin’ all sides on top of

us. No less , you'll be drownded up to

the fekkin’ bollocks

look in the Midland

you get a little bit of relief for an hour

or so but that's about it

I'm advising you not to go out,

Look, on Monday I don’t

know how you’re gonna get the fekkin’

kids to school

thunder,  lightning, raining, pissing and flooding, 

you name it

 as everything on fekkin’ Monday.

Big, dirty wind coming in from the west

look at it

up in  the southwest winds

 they'll fekkin’ cut the bollocks off you walking to

school

They will turn umbrellas inside out

I don’t know how you’re gonna get up -even

Donegal is gonna get a bit of snow up there

there's no relief at all on Monday

and as for Tuesday,

another dirty, fekkin’ day,

 look at the coast,

look at the fekkin’ rain everywhere
