This is taken from The List: 24th June issue. I thought it summed up quite nicely:

OBSESSING ABOUT THE WEATHER
“It’s the silly season again when the young, the old and the marginally disturbed start obsessing about the weather. While the rest of Europe get their leathery hides sun kissed we in Scotland spend the two days a week of oppressive sunshine we get turning lobster outside the nearest intersection public house. We then spend the next five days applying Nivea and mouse urine on our wounds while sheltering from the pissy summer showers. So what do we do? We start obsessing, trying to read the signs and we take mad gambles with our daily outfits in defiance of climate kismet.”

Exactly!
