Not wholly convinced my decision to wear shorts was right.

Oh come on. At least it will not be the whole trousers getting wet. 🤪

Central London now like Bangladesh. (This comment will be the first thing of mine the Spectator ever prints favourably.)

sadly there’s more rain coming. tbf to your fashion choices, half of London still had shorts on yesterday (and it was worse!)

31,000 sq km of land is flooded on average every year in Bangladesh. Thousands of people have died over the past 50 years due to this. Comparing this to a couple of hours of showers in London is slightly extreme and possibly quite inappropriate. 😉

Forgot brat summer, it’s monsoon autumn baby!

It’s such a tricky decision. In spring we peak too early and find ourselves summer ready in the middle of freezing weather and in autumn we hang on to the warm weather hoping it’ll last. My mother’s omnipresent cardigan in such situations was always a good choice.

It's a smart move. Your legs will dry quicker than jeans/trousers...

Tbf, I couldn't find an umbrella or my raincoat so shorts might turn out to be right for the wrong reason.

Well look at it this way- legs are easier to dry than trousers.😇

It’s always shorts weather.

Not a problem - any true Brit knows that shorts are mandatory between April and October. Rain is not an issue as bare legs dry faster than trousers.

On the bright side, you'll dry off quickly.

It's that worst state of the weather - too hot for waterproofs, too rainy for summer gear.

I have a waterproof on today and honestly I think I'd be drier without it 🥵

It’s September, shorts are a must at least until the end of this month, especially in the south. #BelieveInSunshine ✌🏼
