I've always been very outspoken about how much I love the weather in this country. I just don't like it when it's too hot, but it's hardly for long so that makes it even better.
And you're right - hurricanes, cyclones, monsoons, none of those. My wife in Turkey is often worried about earthquakes there. Not something we have to worry about here. [..]
I'm the same. Also, "too hot" in the UK isn't
really "too hot". "too hot" in the UK is not hot enough to kill people. In many parts of the world "too hot" is hot enough to kill people. Similarly for "too cold", although it is sometimes cold enough to kill people in some parts of the UK in some circumstances. But in many parts of the world it's cold enough to kill anyone in anything other than the right circumstances.
Then there's the degree of change. We don't routinely have huge seasonal swings in temperature or quite extreme temperatures most of the year. Many places do. Not just sparsely populated remote places, either.
There was a very small tornado in a UK city decades ago. Nobody killed, a handful of people injured (with a broken bone being the most serious injury) and some repairable property damage in a small area. It was national news for a week. In some parts of the world, tornadoes that kill people, lay waste to many square kilometres and leave towns looking like they've been under a determined bombing run happen every year. The last time a tsunami hit the UK was about 500 years ago and it was a minor one when it got here. Earthquakes here might wake a person up, if they feel it at all. The last time a volcano erupted around here was millions of years ago.
The weather in the UK is outstanding. It hardly ever kills anyone.
People have said to me it must be amazing to experience 4 seasons, particularly those in the Caribbean they just seemed fascinated by the idea of winter in particular.
I remember chatting with someone who migrated here from the Caribbean back in the 50s (maybe early 60s). They landed in northern England in November. Having spent their entire life up until then in the Caribbean. Before the internet and other modern comms made it easy to get knowledge about the weather thousands of miles away. Back then even TV was a new thing, rare and expensive. So they arrived in England with very little to go on regarding the difference in weather. In northern England. In November. Their own summary of their first impression was "I didn't know it could be so cold". It was quite a shock to them. Not fun at all. They got used to it, though. It's not
that cold here.
