I hope the guys understand what British weather's really like!
Admittedly summer 1940 was one of the hottest on record, but that's not really saying much.
I mean, even just from Douglas Bader's Wikipedia page:
"On 11 July 1940 Bader scored his first kill with his new squadron. The weather was bad, the cloud base was down to just 600 feet while drizzle and mist covered most of the sky. Forward visibility was down to just 2,000 yards. Bader was alone on patrol, and was soon directed toward an enemy aircraft flying north up the Nolfolk coast. Spotting the aircraft at 600 yards through the mist, Bader recognised it as a Dornier Do 17."
This was July 1940 and the weather was true to British form.
