As a Brit, yes I adhere to this stereotype. I live in Yorkshire but in a fairly sheltered bit of it, so we don't get the extremes. But we do get all of the different weather. I think it's Bill Bryson's Notes From A Small Island in which he points out that the reason Brits talk about the weather is not because they get big weather they just get lots of it.
My preferred weather is cold and dry; I love the crisp clear autumn and winter days. I also quite like it cold and wet, although preferably if I'm inside. I love snowy days although Home City doesn't tend to get much snow because we're quite sheltered and what we do get turns to insipid brown slush very frequently. I do not enjoy hot weather, particularly when it is also humid. So the last few weekends of bright sunshine were fine because the humidity levels were fairly low. I can cope with sitting outside and reading in the sunshine when the air doesn't feel like a damp washcloth.
Currently it is grey clouds and a light breeze. The clouds look a little threatening and it's quite the change from this morning when it was bright blue sky and sun. These are, I find, the irritating days of mid- and late-May where most of the day is warm enough to be comfortable in the house (albeit I keep my house at levels described by others as 'frigid' and 'icebox') but by the evening I have to whack the heating on for an hour because I'm shivering. Current internal temperature of my house is about 14C and the backdoor is wide open for the cat and half the windows are open because they always are except in the depths of winter. It hailed at the beginning of the week which was a little bizarre.
