For varied weather I love living where I live in Essex - Chelmsford. Winters are often mild but we often get 2 snow events per year on avg. Temps avg around 7c max in Jan. July & August avg at 23c and are often dry and sunny. Rainfall is below 600mm per annum and thunderstorms avg at around 5 in a poor year to 15 or more in a good year. Most of the summer rainfall is showery (although 2008 was unusually frontal). We have high temperatures in heatwaves also with 30c+ being reported most years. Nights in summer are also warm, Maybe not so warm as Central London but not far off, Definately 2c warmer than the surrounding countryside. I have chosen here because I hate very cold winters but appreciate a couple of snow events, I like sunshine and dry weather and the area is drier than most in the country and close to the continent so heat and thunder is common in summer months. I suppose if I wanted something slightly warmer then prob Majorca would be my choice, But im quite happy living in my southeast corner of England!
