As a Brazilian, I have always found the UK’s weather somewhat disappointing. Needless to say, that is putting it mildly.
January and February are especially dire. Since Britain’s winter coincides with Brazil’s summer, the risk of homesickness is exceedingly high. A wet weekend in Wimbledon is no match for Carnival in Rio de Janeiro.
In the end, though, patience is a virtue. Each year I reassure myself that bleakness, cold and rain will eventually give way to colour, warmth and sunshine – or at least some approximation thereof – heralding the return of brighter days.
