AND NOW THE WEATHER (BBC)

94% of Brits admit to having discussed the weather in the past six hours, while 38% say they have in the past 60 minutes. Since Records Began is an almanac, a miscellany, and a celebration, including: myths, legends and old wives tales about the weather; colloquial names for weather around the country, from Custard Winds to Mizzle; bizarre events such as red rain and a downpour of frogs and fish; record-breaking sunshine, wind speed, rainfall, heat - with maps, illustrations, and more.
