I agree with the idea that the weather does somehow mirror Harry's 
circumstances, but I tend to agree with the other Brits. Weather is 
a British obsession.

It is not true that the South of England normally has droughts over 
the summer. Thames Water supply most of Surrey where little Whinging 
is supposed to be set. They have not imposed any hosepipe bans for a 
long time. Certainly, there were no hosepipe bans during the year 
(1995) in which OoP is generally supposed to have happened.
