Although the weather itself cannot be controlled, attempts have been made in Britain to mitigate its effects by altering rules, adopting new technology, moving indoors, and insuring against climate-related losses. These have been limited by the costs involved, both absolutely and in relation to the perceived benefits, but also by attitudes. Many sports promoters and authorities do not perceive the British weather as being extreme and tend to adopt reactive rather than pro-active policies, while spectators are often prepared to brave the elements to watch contests made more unpredictable by the intervention of the weather.
