As
an island, Britain enjoys volatile weather systems - and accordingly its people
have long been obsessed with the subject. In this book we see why: extremes
such as drought, hurricanes and snowstorms, certainly, but also the astonishing
variety of rain that is to be experienced in such a small country. And
throughout the century, the British people open their umbrellas, put on their
Wellingtons and go about their lives.
