Once in a blue moon.
Storm in a tea cup.
To get wind of something.
On cloud nine.

North wind - Arctic very cold

East wind - Continental from Europe and Asia. The winds are cold and dry.

South wind - Tropical warm.

West wind - Maritime air has crossed Atlantic bringing cloud and rain. The winds are warm and wet.

Britain is an island country and the surrounding sea gives England a varied climate. We never know what the weather will be like from one day to the other. It can be sunny one day and rainy the next. As we have such a variable climate changing from day to day, it is difficult to predict the weather. In general we have warm summers and cool winters. Our summers are cooler than those on the continent, but the winters are milder.
