Calendar-based white balance   (+15)  [vote for, against]
Suitable for the British market.

Digital camera owners who don't always shoot raw will be well aware of the problem of forgetting to set the correct white balance for the prevailing conditions. For the British market, this is easy - the camera's in-built clock will set the balance to "heavily overcast" for the whole year, except the first week in June, when it will be merely "cloudy".

A manual override could take the form of a dial, which depicts how rainy it is right now.

It would go from (1) drizzle to (10) torrential.

Perhaps there should be a Scottish version, where the computer switches between "glorious sunshine" and "monsoon season" every seven and a half seconds or so.
