knowing English weather I am not sure if it makes sense to clean a car so precisely.

I believe You, everytime I was in England there were near record high temperatures 2-3 weeks in a row. But it was in the summer time in the south part of the country. But my sister just came back from one year visit to Leeds and she says she didn't see sun shining at all.
