London’s changing weather

Some people complain about the British weather, but I quite like it.

I like how it changes all the time and is – not withstanding the efforts of the Met Office – largely unpredictable.

I like how the landscape can one day be harsh as a hot sun burns away the moisture and reflects brightly on hard surfaces.

I like how the landscape can be softened by mists and how the sounds of the city are damped down by the fog laden air.

I like how sometimes I can look out of my window and see half way across the city, and sometimes barely a hundred yards.

I like how the skyline changes during the day as dusk falls and rather than turning pitch black of a rural landscape, becomes lit up and turns into an entirely new vista to admire.

I like how the sunset changes time throughout the year and how sometimes it is dark at 5pm, but sometimes still light at 10pm.

I like change. Change is good.
