A message from Life co-author, Helen Stephenson
British people are famous for talking about the weather. There’s a reason for this. Our weather can change many times in just one day! We think this is normal. On the other hand, we have had some strange weather in recent years. Many other places around the world are experiencing the same thing – weather that is hotter, wetter, drier or wilder than normal. An article by Peter Miller, from the September 2012 issue of National Geographic magazine, looked at what is happening to our weather.
