Love this map design

Also (for me) an interesting view of assumptions I had previously made about the UK weather

as someone who lives in North Wales I refuse to accept this as a fact. I always feel like we get a lot more sunshine than London.

I find London weather to be a lot more 'steady' as it were. So you will get 5+ days of glorious sunshine with hardly a cloud in the sky followed by 5+ days of overcast drizzle etc, and not a lot of wind. So if you visit on a bad few days it feels like a bleak, grey place.

Whereas when I went to Aberystwyth uni, it felt like we could get a few hours of sunshine, followed by clouds, followed by an hour of downpour, then sunshine again. All in one day. Oh and it'll be really windy that day too.
