01-April-08 Weather in UK

For spring, apparently this week is rather warm and sunny. Temperature this week (55 F) is warmer than Chicago. The weather here in Bournemouth RARELY gets below 28-29 F. Bournemouth is on the south coast of England and gets more sunshine than many other parts of England. But saying that, it still rains fairly often in most times. It almost never snows. And the summer temperature doesn't usually get above 80 F.

There is always a lot of discussion about the weather, similar as in Chicago.

As it is along the coast, there is a fair bit of wind that sweeps in from the English Channel. And if the sun goes behind a cloud or there's a pick up in the wind, you can go from wearing shorts and a short-sleeve shirt, to where you need to go in and put on jeans (pants) and a sweater (jumper) within a few minutes time. And you should always have your bumpershoot (umbrella) available, in case it suddenly rains.
