The way the British weather works is this: It's hot all of a sudden. We need everything to cope with the heat. But there's a shortage on everything you need - like paddling pools, splash pads and water play mats. And by the time one arrives, it's raining again.

And - bonus British points - we NEVER LEARN.

So, yes, it's a little grey, but we've still got all of July and August to come. And September, where we seem every year to forget it can also be hot.
