Ha ha ha -> now THAT is an understatement ~ checkout the 台風のくも: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-19386362

I am presently in Florida (“the Sunny State” of the USA) where we have a Tropical Storm going past the west coast, so it is ‘bucketing down’ (大雨!) right now (it has been since yesterday, and probably will for another day or so). 

One definitely needs one’s “brolly” and “wellies” (umbrella and wellington boots if you don’t know these UK English terms). Even then, the wind is so gusty that you will get drenched!

Talking about the wet weather - most people think it always rains in the UK -> that is not true. Yes, more often than not it will be cloudy but not necessarily raining cats & dogs like it is here, right now.

Also, just so you know - 霧のロンドン does not exist! Yes, out in the hills in the beautiful countryside of England you will see ‘fog’ but it is not an everyday thing.

Today’s point being ~ keep dry and be safe, as typhoon season is now upon us. Don’t forget to have a ‘brolly’ with you and an extra handkerchief, just in case a lady needs one for a tear or to cover a dirty chair so she can sit down and rest ~ that is where a gentleman’s mind is ~

Stay dry friends ...
