LONDON – No matter how many years of disappointing weather and gloomy beach trips we struggle through, we still get our hopes up when summer rolls round.
Our cynical British brains tell us not to, but the tiny part of us that still knows how to dream won't accept it. "Go on, get the BBQ out," that part whispers. "It's summer, after all." Or: "Why don't you drive down to the beach for the day? It's true the forecast only says sunny spells, but hey, maybe that'll mean it's less busy?"
To try to capture the constant misery of Britain's most underwhelming season, we put together a few pie charts, graphs and vector diagrams.
