I honestly thought the weather was 10/10.
I don't know if all Americans would agree but firstly. I like the rain.
Welsh rain isn't like rain where I'm from though. I don't think I never saw flash floods or big storms the whole year I was there. Drizzle mostly. Or that rain I was told was called "spitting" . A fair name for it.
The temperature didn't fluctuate very much. Which is mostly why I liked it. The coldest of winter was just slightly below freezing. Only lasting a few weeks. Here. We get two months where the temp sits in the 0s to negative farenheight. (-17c to -26c).
With wind-chill making it incredibly cold. And it gets so dry here.
Welsh winters are moist. I actually didnt know that was possible.
Here the summer months from July to end of September hang high and humid. High 90s to 105f (35-40c) before finally dropping off.
In Swansea I think there was maybe 2 weeks it was just hitting 90f (35c). July I think.
But apparently that's changing.
But yeah we literally see almost 0% humidity and 0f degrees in the winters. To 100f degrees in summer with 100% humidity.
So you can see why I thought Welsh weather was so much better in comparison to U.S Midwest weather.
No blizzards. No tornados or crazy storms. Humidity mostly the same all year.
I mean it's almost intolerable to be outside for 5 months of the year here.
