Rainy March, rainy April, rainy May, and WIND!

So up until about a month ago, I figured the weather here was pretty much the same as the weather I'm used to back home. The autumn was very familiar, though lacking wind storms, and the winter was pretty much identical to the typical Canadian west coast winter, but once we got into spring, things started to get weird. I'm used to a windy rainy March, and maybe a bit into April, but certainly by the time it's late April and definitely May, I would expect more sunny weather than not. Such is not the case here. While the sun does show its face from time to time, one cannot dress as if it were a sunny day, for the sun only comes out of hiding intermittently, and when it's gone, it's gone, replaced by harsh cold November-esque winds, and pelting rain. And it is past the middle of May. In a mere two weeks it will be June, but it still feels like March, and a mean March at that. The thing I'm most sick of though is not the rain... I can deal with rain. It's the excessively strong winds, day after day. Well, I suppose I have really assimilated to this English environment if I have deigned to talk here of the weather. I'm quite sure no one really cares.
