The weather in England can be difficult to predict. England is located at a location that has a wet, warm, and unpredictable climate. There are many English idioms that have to do with the weather, such as “save up for a rainy day”, “a storm in a teacup”, “you have your head in the clouds”, “long-winded”, “on cloud-nine”, and “I’m feeling under the weather”. It is wise to always bring an umbrella in England, to avoid getting caught in the rain.

Q1
Have you ever been caught in the rain because you didn’t check the weather forecast in advance?
A.
Yes, I have, many times. If it looked like it was going to be a brief shower, then I would wait in a café until it stopped. If it looked like it was going to be heavy rain, then I would purchase an umbrella from a nearby convenience store. In the case of unexpected showers, convenience stores can be found easily all over South Korea.
