According to this BBC article, the UK is having the wettest weather since 1766. For the record, 1766 is when the UK government started recording the weather. However, according to several articles that I read in the paper this weekend, summer starts in the UK August 15th where we should face sun and above average temperature.  

On a personal note, the family arrived in the UK late Friday night and we had an amazing weekend, with rain in the evenings and sun during the day. We closed off the weekend with a BBQ with some new neighbours.  

A great weekend.

As an aside, ‘Singing in the Rain‘ is one of my favourite old movies.
