Here in Spain we complain when the temperature drops to 10 degrees or when we have an hour or two of rain. A night of strong winds is almost a national crisis. Perhaps we should spare a thought for those people back in Britain where the weather has been appalling.
Following flooding in the Midlands and the South, the North of the country got hit yesterday by snow storms which caused havoc leaving more than 200 people stranded in vehicles after six inches fell in hours.
Roads in the North and Scotland were badly hit with drifts trapping the terrified occupants of 130 cars, coaches and trucks on the A66 in Co Durham.
The blizzards also left up to 3,000 homes in North Yorkshire and 1,250 in North Lincolnshire without power.
And the Met Office warned of icy conditions over the weekend — with the cold snap lasting until Wednesday.
Temperatures could hit -10°C in Scotland and -3°C in the Midlands with 70mph winds across the UK.
For those of you living here, please don't tell the folks back in England that the weather is beautiful here at the moment. They probably won't appreciate it.
