Summer or Winter?

I'd actually prefer BST all year round.

Like France, who stuck to Berlin time even after the German occupation ended.

I remember returning to the UK on the 19th of May after working in Zimbabwe for two years, the lush greenery took me by surprise

Had a similar shock landing at Heathrow to see snow all around in the first week of April - After travelling around the desert in Death Valley for a week it was a terrible jolt to the system.

Looking at the map they are not alone

I’m in Abu Dhabi ATM and it’s about 30 degrees. Far too hot

Your lucky mate.
When I was there in December it used to be hot during the day, and after 6 it would be freezing!

Death Valley

Which month did you visit there?

Which month did you visit there?

March. Friends were living in San Jose and we took a month to drive around and smell the sights. Went through DV in a Chevy van that had quad speakers and top notch A/C...you really felt the difference when you got out into that heat. It just smacks you in the face. Even mad dogs would think twice before going walkabout in the Mojave Desert during the summer.
