How do you feel about the fact that it rains so often?

Honestly, I love it. Yes, it can be depressing when it's just days on end of grey drizzle, but I've always found rain to be somewhat comforting in a strange way. I love the fresh smell of it as well - petrichor is the proper name for it. Our green and pleasant land would be nowhere near as green and pleasant without it. Remember the summer where everything turned brown? It was bloody horrible - not just the heat, but the fact that our gorgeous countryside was fucking *brown*. It was depressing and dull. I think a lot of Brits don't realise how lucky we are when it comes to weather. I know we're getting more extremes these days due to climate change, but still - the vast majority of the time it's neither too hot nor too cold. Very rarely do winter temperatures go below freezing (like they would very often if the Gulf Stream didn't exist), and very rarely do summer temperatures go above 30 degrees. We don't get many natural disasters either, other than floods and occasional tornados. Our weather is incredibly mild, and that's how I like it.
