London differs from Michigan in one crucial aspect: at least one sudden cloudburst occurs on most days, and the time or likelihood of these downpours can in no way be predicted from either checking the weather report or looking at the sky. I have been caught in several of these, without the umbrella that I thought unnecessary when looking at the sunny morning horizon.
Most Londoners, will, when the drizzle begins, quickly pull out their raincoats and umbrellas and continue on unperturbed. Of the rest, those who can afford to wait do so, huddling under bridge overpasses and streetside cafes. Some simply stick their hands in their pockets and start walking a bit faster. A few pull out their cameras to catch a shot of Big Ben and the sunlight-freckled-spires of Parliament across the river and through the mist (which I have to admit, made an amazing picture).
They are used to unpredictability, here.

It's storming in Michigan tonight, but not in Ann Arbor to the best I can tell. It has cooled down nicely, though.
