It doesn't exist on a British weather map, it doesn't exist on a British political map. But it is clearly present on a world map. This is the dilemma of British history.
This is a map of Britain that highlights the area of DANELAW, a land occupied by the Danish Vikings from across the North Sea. It was divided between two kingdoms, one called JORVIK whose capital was YORK (JORVIK) and other was DANELAW. A division between Danish and Norse Vikings.
This is a map of Viking territories in Britain and where the particular Vikings came from. It shows that most of England, the North and South East were occupied by Viking settlers. Also parts of Ireland and the Western isles of Scotland, and South West Wales. These areas show evidence of Viking settlement or trade as proven in place names. Southern England was known as Wessex, occupied by Saxons, Belgiae, Frisians.
This red and blue coloured image of Britain shows the cultural/linguistic dividing line between North and South England. Those in the south are Yuppies or Farmers, those in the North are poor peasants who talk funny.
It is debatable as to where the dividing line should be, whether it is as far north as the Humber river near Hull in Mid North East England or further south by the Wash in the far north of Norfolk where the eastern land curves around and ends in a big inlet called The Wash.
If you overlay the kingdom of DANELAW over this linguistic dividing line you get an X down the centre of England crossing over somewhere like Coventry of Leicester in the Midlands. And this is roughly centre ground in the English countryside. Maybe Nottingham or South Yorkshire is more accurate.

This is a cultural map of Britain which gives a broad overview of what people are like in their respective areas.
This map is the bottom half of Britain
This is my version of Britain showing the main areas of activity such as London, Bristol, Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow, Belfast.
So what I have done is to link these areas together and then I made a Pyramid with a capstone created by Manchester and South Yorkshire because this area seems to be a hotbed of activity (i.e Manchester, Rochdale, Sheffield, South Yorkshire)
I included North West England because of the recent spate of bad weather to hit the area this year 2016.
On this map I joined up the Cities of Belfast, Glasgow and Carlisle in North West England. I then formed a triangle to link them together.
Perhaps a third Pyramid and Capstone can be created which covers Ireland and covers the Faroe Islands in the North Atlantic Ocean.
