Why UK Weather is so Unpredictable

British Weather is famously unpredictable and Brits love to talk about it all the time! But is it to do with our culture of the climate, that the weather will come up as a topic in nearly every conversation.

What's the weirdest conversation you have ever had with someone about the weather?

[@JustDanielSon]

what was that song playing @ 1:23 sounds good. i want to find the producer.....

[@scl9671]

Not the weirdest conversation but the weirdest weather I have ever seen in the UK is Sun, Rain, Snow and Hail all in one day!

[@NoName-jq7tj]

The British rain is a B*****d. The winters are mild but the rain is awful. It’s a problem.

[@thegamingchannelgcr4396]

True bro finally someone knows how bad mild winters are they are Crap.

[@Cosmic-Wanderer]

I cant stand the wind more than anything. Can handle the rain and cold and even roasting hot sunny weather. But the wind here is a joke

[@drteeka7883]

Enough! I am leaving this country soon for hot and sunny place

[@Sh23-hv7sn]

British rain is brutal. Something about it is just rough and sharp on the skin

[@tempejkl]

Often has sand in it from the Sahara. Rain needs particles to form around

[@tombartram7384]

Our weather is very predictable. Its horrible 90% of the time.

[@WeebSara]

Swedes and Dutch love talking about the weather too! Interesting perspective

[@AndyMBurgess]

We are all in similar climate zones so I imagine the experiences is very similar 😁

[@paulnicolas172]

For me it’s mainly the weather . Yeah it’s fine when the weather’s good but most the time in England the weather is crap especially in the north where I live . I wanted to go for a long walk the other day and it was p***** it down all day and it’s mid summer - then we get tons of windy cloudy miserable days were it’s hard to motivate myself to even leave the house - the weathers so unpredictable in the uk . Then there’s winter - freezing , raining, windy , Ice, cloudy , dark by 4pm - it’s so depressing . And then when you eventually get a good day but because you’ve been so depressed having been stuck inside because of the bad weather you find it hard to motivate yourself to go outside . Then if you live in the city when you go for a walk your breathing in all the crap air full of pollutants so your probably doing yourself more harm than good . I hate the UK- I mean it wouldn’t be a bad place if the weather was better and the days were longer in winter . That’s why a lot of people move abroad from here .

[@macflod]

Give me below 0 anyday over wet and wind. I live in far north of the Uk and we do still get below 0 but it definitely become rarer! In winter i miss the frost and snow! It was much better than cold rain, grey, mud, wet ! Horrible weather! Hate winter now

[@Ro_david02]

I as a person who is not British, talks about the weather always. I've lived in 2 countries where weather is unpredictable. The UK and my home country, Romania. In Romania, it's sunny. One minute later, a thunderstorm forms with torrential rain and stronger winds. In the UK, its dry. One minute later, its raining very heavily for a very little amount of time. Then, its sunny. Who agrees?

[@simonagevans66]

My friend the weather is very elusive and wild these days with the climate change all the time across the UK. There was a deep trough on the 24th of May 2022 Tuesday in the South East of England and it was the perfect conditions for thunderstorms and tornadoes to form in the South East of England especially no joke.🌩️⛈️👺👍

Is Romania mostly rural?

You're looking at the best weatherman in the Galaxy here. I forecast the 3 big storms of the winter of February 2022 in the uk this year. Before the met office did they are too slow I'll always 85% right back the weather across the UK. I've even help my sister out and she's got a better job in flood insurance now thanks to me no joke.☀️😎🌩️⛈️👍

[@iesroo]

The weather does fall below zero. Even in SE England last year we got to -3 to -5 several days this winter especially in December

[@Double0Face]

That's WHY it's HURT you when a girl breakup with you in England, the weather seems PLOTS WITH HER !!!!! 🎼It's raining Heartbreakers, halleluia...." 🎶....😭😭😭😭

[@lilafromyoutube]

When Andy said the brits have it the worst in the world…. try me Andy, try me 😂😂😂 just kidding, but this is literally the same as here! It can change in a second and it is the worst when trying to film without blacking out the windows. I had to refilm a video because of the moving clouds last week. and honestly if our weather was consistent I don’t know if we would know what to do with ourselves. What would we talk about?!

[@AndyMBurgess]

Haha Lila, I'm so glad you can also relate! The lighting is such a filmmaker issue 😅 I might have to invest in blinds but I love the natural light, when the clouds don't mess with it 🥲

[@lilafromyoutube]

@@AndyMBurgess same!!! People have been telling me to start blocking out the light but I personally really like the vibe of daylight in the background of my videos. But man it’s a pain in the 🍑

[@gabrielgabriel1297]

Lol my teacher watched this and told us "what did you learn from Andy Burgess?"

[@PentapullProductions]

This really helped with my Geography Homework no cap

[@shinexroses5649]

In the UK we love are cups of teas

[@danandlaundry]

I swear this country hates me. When I haven’t been outside for a while. It’s nice and sunny and like after a minute to be being outside IT STARTS RAINING

[@nigelash5509]

I told people this time and time again how the weather in uk is not predicable well if you have never been there how can talk on something they don't know. I was not buying it because I know those people don't have any relatives there or even muchless visited. My "friend" has family there as well so he knows how bad the weather in UK. hahahah lmao hahahahhah. I knew those people were lying about how they knew UK weather was good and the sun comes up all of the time . LYIing. they never went there or muchless visted . the last time my friend the weather was bad the whole time he was there. quite strange and unpredicable weather if I should add. this man is a real Brit and not a fake brit. he's telling the truth.

[@bajlandia2025]

Polish people like to talk about the weather also. And we like to complain about it too.

[@AndyMBurgess]

Hell yeah!🇵🇱🙌

No it's not its rubbish what he's saying isn't true the simpleton

[@louisaklimentos7583]

Some British people visited Australia and it decided to poor with rain . We were in drought for a long time , then we had strong rain and they complained about it . They said that they thought they were coming to sunshine and that the rain was worse in Australia . After about a week , the sun was blaring and it was about 35 degrees Celsius and then they said that the sun rays were far too strong and hated the really hot weather lol

[@mrbruh58]

This is so true it rains rains and rains

[@abhy301]

0:10 dafq was that? English? 😅

[@AnkhaLover333]

Somewhere in Birmingham in England I think.

[@Tsumami__]

* laughs in Floridian * Also sorry to the burgesses that got stuck over there, that sucks for y’all

[@nirmalaadvani6471]

Certain Weather is so important for one's living satisfaction and happiness. Fluctuations in weather might make u stay grumpy All the time, have health issues frequently due to body Not being able to be in sync with external temperature. It just sucks. Your Life isn't yours anymore. It Just irritating never ending survival struggle

[@KCKFC1]

In thailand, it’s sunny in the morning and early noon. 2 seconds later, some storm with so many claps that breaks my eardrums comes in and doesn’t dissipate until 6 frickin hours later

[@lowfreekey]

Editing on point. Was always wondering why the chat about weather never ends.

[@AndyMBurgess]

Thank you! Enjoyed the edit a lot on this one. Yes weather chat is continuous

[@ChloeCara]

Learnt the geographic climate of the UK & how to socialise again post-lockdown in just 6 minutes. you are a legend Andy 🙌

[@AndyMBurgess]

Haha love that Chloe! Thanks for checking it out!

[@AndrewWes2005]

Weather in Malaysia 🇲🇾 also weird. We experienced hot☀️ and cloudy☁️ weather morning to evening. At night until early morning we had Thunderstrom⛈️

[@spacechannelfiver]

Mate it does that every day in Malaysia. That's not unpredictable.

[@AlbertoLaDulla]

Not just the weather - everything in the UK is disappointing

[@ashleymarietv2]

I live in America, and we talk about the weather a lot, too. But it depends on where you live. I live in Texas. For most of the year, I don’t have to check a weather app or check the news. My daughter will ask me what the weather will be, and I’m like, “hey, it’s may… ask me again about the weather in October. Until then, my answer is hot as hell with zero chance of rain.” But then we get winter, which never makes sense. It’s up and down and ridiculous. Tornado one day, then super cold weather, then a 90 F dat. Half of my Christmas Days have been hot. You just never know. BUT… for the most part, Texas is predictable. I still remember one Christmas… 2015. Christmas Day was warm. Next day, tornadoes ravaged north Texas. It was intense. But we do get a lot of tornadoes, just not usually during winter. Places like NY and Boston are more unpredictable. Great video, btw!

[@jamesmatheson9624]

The reason why is because of the elevation of UK and if you put a 3 to 6 km ball in the water the clouds would go towards the ball and it would rain and snow on top of the ball. Clouds attract to the highest point that is why it does not rain in regions where there are a lot of mountains

[@zacharyfrancislevi]

Great video bro!! Love your creativity. Thank you for all you do putting these together man

[@AndyMBurgess]

Yo Thanks Zac, Glad you like them!

[@some_random_shosholoshk]

The factthat when I was watching this video, the weather outside changed like 6 fricking times

[@stephensnell5707]

Luckily Britain only has 33 tornadoes per year

[@m.visuals]

Haha so relatable! 🇬🇧 Awesome as always dude 🎥

[@marcodipietro8835]

Sounds just like weather in Luxembourg, it was raining and hailing like crazy for a few minutes and the next second the temperature drops and it starts snowing really heavily and after 20 minutes it's all sunny outside😅

[@stephensnell5707]

But the UK weather WILL get more extreme with a warming climate

[@stephensnell5707]

The UK Weather has and is turning more severe We are having way hotter Summers,stormier Winters and less Winter Snowfall

[@kylewaddington1983]

What the 🔥🥵 months in United Kingdom and less rain 🌧️☔ the most sunny months i am from Australia

[@felicitydeikos5250]

Melbourne in Australia is the same........ we have four seasons in one day.......minus rain.

[@ColonelMarcellus]

In Kentucky we have a saying: if you don't like the weather wait 2 days

[@jaredkushner5024]

Um, not to rain on the parade, but British weather is extremely predictable and very mild and stable. Compare that to the weather systems that rip through the US, which bring, in the space of hours and days, tornadoes, blizzards, ice, derechos and straight line winds, heat waves, cold waves, etc...the US midwest is known for having the largest temperature swings of any country in the world - the progression from "rain to snow" or going from "sunny to rain" is...literally typical as hell. Britain has two climate types only - oceanic maritime and oceanic. Oregon, which is a bit larger than the entire UK, has like 10+ different climate types alone, all complicated by mountains and deserts.

[@Road2Drone]

I wish it’s always cold in London

[@daffayudono4071]

As a non british. in my english book, People often start the conversation with "Nice weather isnt it?" Yeah, i think i know where it comes from now...

[@drrd4127]

I am from Scotland and I have lived in Australia for a while and people here talk about the weather a lot especially when it is hot and raining, it is not just a British thing. I did live in Melbourne and they had 4 seasons in one day, like, I don't remember the weather extremes in Scotland being that bad as in Melbourne. You can.get every kind of weather here, it is in sane, tropical, subtropical, temperate ect...
