Re: Bringing a Clarinet from Singapore to the UK

Hi Kamran,

That sounds really great. Those are all lovely places, with nice people who will make you feel welcome, and lots of fun stuff to do.

If you are arriving in August or June then that is an ideal time really, for your own adjustment, as our weather will be a similar temperature to yours. It gets very cold in winter, but it will be easier for you to adapt if you start in summer.

You can get the local weather for Birmingham here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2655603

The weather trends are here:

Birmingham is much wetter, I think, than London. I see from that page that the humidity even in August is around 70%, so you may actually be okay. Perhaps the clarinet will not change much?

It would probably be good to book in your clarinet for a check-up a little while after you arrive, just in case. The best techs often have a 2 month waiting list.

When you arrive, you might also like to buy some special clothes called "thermal base layer" for when winter comes. They help a lot with the cold.

Good luck and I hope you have a wonderful time.

Jennifer
