I have a strange problem. I am from Poland and I would like to start the PhD in England or Ireland, but.... Two years ago i had a difficult spine operation. After rehabilitation everything seems to be fine now, however, when the weather changes all the time or suddenly it disturb my normal function and comfort of living. That`s why I`m asking how do you all feel when the weather changes and how meteopaths like me can live there. I know that for others this argument of choosin a place to study sound silly but for me it is important and I have heard that the climate of England is difficult. -Asia
I'm sorry to say this but the British Isles would not be the best place for someone with your problem. The weather forcast is wrong some of the time because we have such unpredictable weather. You could have a heat wave one day and next week it could be snowing.
Hi Asia, I think if you are concerned about and limited by the wheather you really should find another place than Britain. The wheather changes really quickly and it is completly normal that you wake up to sunshine(like today) and now it is pooring down with rain and i make a bet it will be nice and freezing cold tonight. i would look for a place with more continental climate as it is normally more stable.
good luck
Dear Asia,
what you describe regarding your spine and getting pains when there are sudden changes in temperatures or humidity is not unusual. Obviously of all places UK and Ireland are known for these quick changes. Maybe a countries like Italy, southern Franc, Spain or US would be better for you, however if you have to go to the UK then southern coastal area may suit you: the climate in general is somewhat milder (some even claim it is subtropical in Torquay, which I cannot confirm)
