The south east of England with its more continental (more
interesting?) climate invariably features heavily in this
'story' not necessarily because of bias towards that region
but because it generally has more extremes.
David (N.Yorks)

Now that is a very interesting assertion. Not the one that says
that is why the south-east of England/Britain features more
heavily in the 'story', but the assertion that that area has
'more extremes'.

What evidence can you provide to justify that assertion?
