20% of Northerners surveyed complain about the climate each day, compared to 15% of Southerners. But there could be a reason for that.

But what’s more surprising is that it’s Midlander’s that complain about weather daily more than any other area in England. 28% of people surveyed in the West Midlands say they bring it up each day.
