A question for those Hikers from the USA that have never visited the UK: what kind of climate do you believe is prevalent in this country?

The reason for asking is that while in my local pharmacy today an American women exclaimed that she couldn't believe she was having to buy sunscreen during her visit to these shores.

Not an Actor, nor married to Jamie-Lee Curtis.
