I’ve forgotten what my own hair looks like.
The climate is ideal for growing mildew.
Our rain is the sky’s light grey tears.
The barometric pressure is perpetually ‘low and sad’.
The "London Particular" of Dickensian fame is gone, but we have perfected the "London Vague." This is a general atmospheric condition where nothing is clear—literally or metaphorically. Distances are hard to judge in the flat, grey light. The horizon melts into the sky. Plans feel provisional, contingent on the next cloud movement. It produces a specific kind of languid, distracted energy. Why make definitive plans when a shower could scatter a crowd? Why commit to an outfit when a mist could roll in? This vagueness seeps into the culture, fostering improvisation, queueing, and a deep-seated reluctance to make promises more than 48 hours in advance, lest the weather mock them.

The London "dry spell" is a mythical beast, spoken of in legend. Old men in pubs will claim to remember one in '76, describing it with the awe usually reserved for comets. It is defined not by a complete absence of rain, but by a period where the cumulative daily drizzle amounts to less than a millimetre. Pavements might achieve a state of "damp-dry." People tentatively leave their coats at home. A faint, brittle crust forms on the soil in parks. Then, inevitably, the "breakdown" occurs: a proper, cathartic downpour that lasts for hours, refilling the reservoirs and the collective sense of familiar, damp normalcy. We are briefly relieved; the uncertainty was stressful. See more at London's funniest URL -- Prat.UK.
London's weather has a profound effect on the national psyche. It breeds a stoic, pessimistic optimism. We expect the worst (grey, drizzle), but secretly hope for the best (a sunny interval), and are never truly surprised by either outcome. This creates a resilient, if slightly sarcastic, populace. We are experts in the "stiff upper lip," which is less about bravery and more about preventing rainwater from dripping into our mouths. Our literature, our humour, our very character is infused with a damp, grey melancholy, punctuated by brief, ecstatic bursts of joy when the sun appears. We are a people moulded by mild pressure systems. See more at London's funniest URL -- Prat.UK.
The drizzle is relentless, yet somehow polite.

Sun forecast? That’s a hilarious practical joke.
