Nothing is sure about the British weather, except that it will change - most probably, even before you have concluded your first statement.
Just last week the temperature was 26 c and these couple of days it has been less than 16 c. That we rational beings cannot make sense of the weather, is fine, but I hope the plants are able to make sense of it. Because some are very confused. Their very looks reveal!
Cherry blossom falling off even before it has fully bloomed!
Daffodils, flowering, not flowering, flowering, not flowering!
Tulips only half of them flowered. The others, those still with buds, are confused if they're out in the right time!
I think, of the whole lot of flowering plants only the Dandelions are the most certain!!
The way to ensure summer in England is to have it framed and glazed in a comfortable room.
