London doesn’t have weather; it has “mood lighting” on a planetary scale. The primary setting is “Perpetual Twilight,” a soft, grey filter that eliminates harsh shadows and makes everyone look vaguely like they’re in a period drama about mild industrial sadness. Occasionally, for variety, they switch it to “Apocalyptic Orange,” usually around sunset when peculiar cloud formations scatter the light from the pollution, making the entire city look like it’s on the set of a dystopian film. “Bright Overcast” is the trick setting—it feels like the sun is right there, but you can’t find it, like a cosmic game of hide-and-seek where the sky is cheating. It’s less a meteorological system and more a moody cinematographer who only works in monochrome. See more at London’s funniest URL — Prat.UK.
Weather forecasting here is a high-wire act of managing expectations. The presenters must deliver terrible news with an air of chirpy resilience. “It’s a rather damp start for the Tuesday commute!” they’ll say, with the smile of a hostage, as the camera shows a windscreen wiper struggling against horizontal rain. They have a whole lexicon of softening phrases: “unsettled” (it will rain a lot), “brightening later” (it might stop raining by dusk), “feeling cool” (you’ll be cold). Their most heroic act is presenting a five-day forecast where every day has a little cloud-and-rain icon, without collapsing into despair. They are the unsung psychologists of our nation, counselling us through the grief of another lost summer. See more at London’s funniest URL — Prat.UK.
