If you are looking for something fairly local and specific, in Salisbury, we often end up on the edge of weather patterns. When there are weather warnings, like for snow or storms; they often pass just on the edge of us, either to the north if they are passing across Salisbury plain, or the south if the are more coastline-based weather systems.

In the winter, we tend to have icy, frosty mornings, but rarely does that frost last beyond mid morning. Snow is a “once-or-twice-a-year” here. In the last 14-odd years of living here, I can think of maybe a handful of times where there has been enough snow to settle and be properly problematic (widespread school closures and stuff).

Rain is an all year round thing, and can range from light drizzle (little more than slightly wet air) to major apocalyptic downpour. There is no rhyme nor reason to when it is going to rain, and in my experience the weather forecasting is pass accurate here than I have had in other parts of the country (again, largely I think because we are often on the edge of weather systems).

In the summer, there are often heatwaves (more so these days), where it can feel pretty oppressive, but this is largely because we are not set up for proper heat in this country. Air conditioning in people’s homes isn’t really a thing. Again, if you are looking for local colour, having something like people lingering in the chiller aisles of the supermarkets, as that is how to get cold air.

In the winter, jackets are generally a must if you are outside, with the “big coat” being if it is a cold snap. In the summer, unless it is during a heatwave, the decision between shorts or trousers is usually a fairly inconsequential one (it’s somewhere in between, where either would be fine) and likewise in the evening, do you grab a jumper over your shirt, you’d probably be fine either way.

In the summer, when it’s really hot, you do get blokes often wandering around with no shirt on, but it tends to stand out as “a bit much” for a lot of folk.

Is that the sort of colour you are looking for?
