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?

Anne

More continental influence, The highest temperatures in summer, the most
thunderstorm activity (this evening is an example) the most sun hours, the
most disruptive snowfall and occasionally some rather high winds.
