The Brighton beach you refer to is in the United Kingdom...This one is in Australia, in the city in which I live, as per my post. It rains, but not on the day I was there, and not much at all.
Adelaide has an average of about 527mm of rainfall a year and about 118 days of rainfall over the calendar year. The average annual temperature is 22.4°C and the hottest recorded day was 47.7°C with lowest temperature recorded being -0.4°C.
No Photoshop was used. That's how it looks.
