The Most British of Subjects

When discussing holidays in the UK, it is often the case that there is an elephant in the room. Once you have booked a holiday within the British Isles, nobody dares to mention the weather. It is a similar case for me when writing about one of the holidays I am currently promoting, in West Wales. When writing about the South of France, it is fair to mention the wonderful weather that you will experience in Ille-sur-Tet in June, but there really is no guarantee that you will see the sunshine in the UK in the same month. So here are a few cold hard facts about the British weather in June. Average Temperature I'm going to focus on West Wales, as it is a popular holiday destination that can be affected by the weather. Lets take as an example the week between the 6th and the 13th of June. The historical average temperature for that week is between 18 and 19 degrees centigrade in West Wales, or for those of you who prefer to work in Fahrenheit, it's between 65 and 66. The benefits of holidaying in the UK at this time of year Let's face it, the weather could be great in June, it's not like you are visiting in the middle of winter. But many people will be unable to go on holiday at that time of year owing to having children in school or being reliant on school holidays due to their employment. This means that if you go on holiday in the UK during that week, there will be less tourists around. This means that if you are lucky enough to have fabulous weather, you might well find a beautiful, deserted beach that you have all to yourself. What better way to spend a week than sunbathing, paddling and generally enjoying yourself on what is effectively a private beach. Should you be unlucky with the weather, then the other attractions in the area will be equally quiet, giving you the opportunity to make the most of them in your own time. The advantages of staying in a holiday home It is often worth staying in a holiday home rather than a hotel, but before you book, look out for those hidden gems that will make your stay even more pleasant. The presence of a television, DVD player and modern DVD collection will make passing a relaxed day in the house an attractive prospect, whatever the weather. Some places provide board games for children (and adults), and an iPod docking station is bound to appeal to teenagers. Make sure that there is plenty of space for everyone in the house, there's nothing quite like being cooped up in a tiny space in poor weather. The kitchen is equally important, it should have everything you could possibly need, so you can just stock on food and drink up at the supermarket on your way and you won't have to leave the house at all if you don't want to. Whilst the British weather can never be guaranteed, being on holiday in a real home from home is the best way to combat any bad weather. There is nothing worse than being stuck in a small room with little or nothing to do, but you will never have this problem if you do your research and plan for the worst case scenario!
