London Weather by Inclement Attlee
I've returned from my holidays to find the weather much as I left it: mostly sky-based fluctuations of air and water. Venus gets clouds of sulfuric acid. On Titan, it rains methane. Some exoplanets can reach temperatures of 1,600ºC, but we're stuck in the mid-teens. Poor show, London, with your moderately warm, moderately damp, moderately boring climate. Bring on the storms of liquid helium and nanotube hail.
