The UK is in a peculiar place for weather patterns though - we're pretty much on the cusp of five different weather systems, so we're kind of used to changeable/outlier weather events.

- ndsipa_pomu 1y agoI would consider it "mild" weather rather than "stable". We don't tend to get extremes, but we do get fluctuations over the course of a day. I expect things will be different if the Gulf Stream shifts and plunges Britain into a mini ice age.
