There is no doubt that the weather in the UK is hugely varied and, at times, spectacular. As a result, the weather is a huge part of our culture and always features in our daily conversations – in fact, if stuck for small talk, you will always find common ground in a discussion about the weather! While we dream of the elusive “BBQ Summer”, the British summer is, more often than not, wet. And with the rain comes the thunderstorms.
