OFFICIAL PRODUCT OF LONDON 2012
The weather has always been a major talking point in Britain, the rapid changes of weather from one day to the next, whatever the season, giving the nation a good enough reason for their renowned preoccupation.
Extremes of weather are rare in Britain but they do occur. Storms are the most eye-catching of all types of weather and often hit the headlines. The October 1987 hurricane, that one esteemed weatherman famously failed to predict, flattened much of south-eastern England.
