Despite our complaints about the UK climate (Brits favourite sport is complaining about the weather!), your post does remind me that we are actually quite fortunate and "safe" in the UK in that we don't have to worry about wild fires, tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, floods/landslides, droughts, deadly snakes & spiders, bears, alligators/crocodiles, kangaroos, dropbears, etc.
I hope you get some rain soon - you are welcome to some of ours!
