unpredictable, ive herd america is much cheaper and better weather.
can anyone help

I don't doubt the US is cheaper. "Better weather" will depend on where you
go. I gather a lot of foreigners head to Arizona for reliably clear
weather. Some places in the US have fewer flyable days than the UK.

I met a guy that lived on Adak in the Aluetian chain. He was a
weather specialist (what else would one do on Adak?) and estimated that
there were about 5 good VFR days out of the year.

My uncle was stationed on Adak. He eavesdropped on the Russians.

Yes, but everything is relative.

You do realize they live by a different standard "up there".
It's a decent day when you can see your own wing tips and it's good
VFR when you can see the other side of a 75 foot runway.

A *lot* cheaper even with gas past $3.00 US per gallon.
You can probably rent a Bonanza over here for what they pay for a 150
in the UK.

The South West is too hot in the Summer, Great in Spring and Fall.
Florida is nice in the Winter if you don't mind bugs, mold, and high
humidity In mid Winter the weather and temperatures can vary widely
from North Florida to South Florida..

The Mid West and Great Planes aren't all that bad in the Summer
although you will find the most varied weather. East and West coast
are more expensive than the South or South West. The Mid West is
probably the cheapest. (You should see the courtesy carsLOL)

Florida is too expensive (compared to AZ, for example), and the landscape
is boring, IMHO, but YMMV.
