I said the same some weeks ago to danny, Col.
Small mind and all that.

The climate of the British Isles is extremely repetitive. Sure it's
'changeable', but is one low\front after another interesting? I think this
is where the old myth started... the British weather is sure changeable but
for a Weather enthusiast it's not interesting, or comparable to 'most' other
parts of the world. Don't kid yourself on this one.

Our climate is very benign and mellow. We never see proper extremes. For
one, we hardly ever see 'proper' snow that many other countries in the World
see. We never see proper rain\thunder. Temperatures are certainly not
extreme, and never will be on the edge of a vast, warm ocean.
The weather Keith described is very typical of winter weather in the UK, and
if you think it is interesting you have a smaller mind than me, and probably
a screw loose. .
