In oceanic coastal areas I can understand the term "4 seasons in one day". When I was in SE England I noticed this.
Strong sunshine, feels hot out of the wind. Then, you walk along the coast and the seabreeze is very strong and when the sun goes behind clouds it feels very cold! This can be all within a few minutes.

You get sea breezes and cloud together? The English coast sounds miserable, if it's as you describe.

Perhaps seabreeze has a different meaning there.
In the week I stayed there, mornings were clear and sunny, the inland temperatures were up to about 19-21 degrees during the day, and the wind would build up around that time (1-3PM), becoming quite strong by the sea. 0.5-1 mile inland, the wind was hardly apparent at all, and it felt relatively hot.
There would be scattered clouds mid afternoon (around 30-40% cloud) for a few hours, maybe building to the odd shower or thunderstorm then it would clear up by about 5-6PM and be scattered clouds to clear in the evening. The wind would die down by about 6PM leaving it feeling very mild, so about 6PM would be the warmest feeling time of day.
The weather was colder than average and windier than average however; the people I was staying with said July was quite warm and felt much better due to the settled weather and far less wind. This was July at the nearest airfield:
16km/hr mean wind speeds for July, but the airport is about 0.5-1 mile inland. The winds are only strong on the coast. I chose a bad week to go down there anyway.
How often do you get "4 seasons in 1 day" weather where you live? This country has a reputation for getting a lot of it, which may be a bit exaggerated , but we would still get more than most places. Where I live it seems to be mainly a late autumn until late spring event whereas, places like Dunedin, Invercargill, and Wellington can seem to get it throughout the year. I really enjoy it , as it can mean rapid changes, spectacular skies,and is generally impressive- all good stuff from a weather watching perspective. I would think it is more of a feature of cooler maritime climates, but I'm interested in how common and dramatic this is in other members locations.
Not often. It happened a lot last fall though. One day I had to some work outside, and it went from my hands being numb in the morning, to being stupidly sweaty and pestered by insects in the afternoon. (This was Mid- October, if I remember correctly). I bet it had a "fall," too, but I wasn't out there that long. The difference was quite stark, considering I remember the day.
I live in northern Michigan and it's like Drew Carey says Michigan where the weather's made up and the seasons don't matter. four seasons in one day means it could be 90 and sunny out one minute and in about an hour it's snowy and cold and then it's rainy kind of warm or cold then it's back in the 90s again closer you are to the Great Lakes the more weather change you will experience it could be sunny and snow and then be freezing and rain here in Michigan it's crazy literally but it keeps you on your toes
