Somewhere in the North

I’m somewhere in the North on business and shocked to encounter sheeting rain and below 20c temperatures. It’s still a drought and 31 at home.
An old man in the carpark clad in a comprehensive waterproof puffa jacket shook his head in disbelief and shouted I should never come here without a sensible waterproof jacket as I ran through the puddles with my suitcase from the car in shorts, t-shirt and strappy white sandals!
