AIBU to hate this awful summer weather.

The SE has been glorious. Tonight we have some rain which I'm happy to see for the garden. Best summer since 1976 here

In SW Scotland since Sunday, it's brilliant weather! Wall to wall sunshine and hot.
All those with rain further North have a couple of days off and nip down here!
It'll probably pour tomorrow!

It's pissing it down here. Sports day cancelled. Planning to hold it tomorrow not sure how with the ground this wet. So much easier for better weather with the holidays starting as well.

N Yorks/Co Durham here and I'm fed up with the weather. We had a couple of sunny days two or three weeks ago, and other than that it's been cold, miserable and lots of rain. The garden's loving it but I'm not. I had the heating on earlier, I'm sitting here in a jumper and sheepskin boots because I can't get warm and wish I were anywhere other than here. My friends in the south are complaining of the heat, but funnily enough, don't seem very keen to swap places...

I am south east and love warm weather. I feel for you guys. But if it's any consolation my house is the size of a postage stamp and costs a bloody fortune and we have no mountains! DH and I love Scotland, I think the climate is the main thing that would put us off living there for a couple of years.

The rain in West Yorkshire today is welcome by me as it's been mafting for a while but yes it would be tedious if we'd had it for ages.

I find I'm spending much more money as indoor type activities are costly

Whereas if it's sunny we just pack a picnic and go to various parks / beaches

And yes I know children don't melt in the rain but it's just not much fun being outdoors getting wet and muddy .

I just want to be able to wear my nice sandals and Floaty vests too

I am also sick of seeing the BBQ food
I bought some lamb koftas the other night , cooked them in my oven grill and ate them on my couch in my flannel pyjamas and socks with the heating on

I'm in Bristol and it's been too sodding hot here for weeks now. O will gladly swap for rain and cool temperatures. I hate Summer!

It's shite isn't it? I check the forecast twice a day in the faint hope of a heatwave.

Scottish here
Sick of rain and damp and grey skies
Myself and DC wearing jeans and jackets daily
NoBBQs
No paddling pools

It's a shame for the kids more than anything

I've been on holiday in the South of England for the past couple of weeks and the weather has been hot bar a couple of slightly cooler, greyer days max. Today is the only rainy day we've had so far...

Difficult to sleep at night...but I'm not complaining as I love the heat and am escaping a Southern Hemisphere winter...

Fingers crossed the heat returns for us and travels up North too!

Raining here today although not cold and everyone is delighted as it's been 28/29 all weekend and muggy as hell.

I've enjoyed the weather in London today. It threw it down all morning and was quite a lot cooler, still not cold though. It feels fresher. The air feels cleaner. The garden is perking up and has that deep earthy smell.

It hasn't been the heat that has bothered me but the humidity. I've felt constantly sticky and sweaty. A dry heat, or even a bit of breeze blowing, would be an improvement. I grew up by the sea so even on hot days there was some clean cool air blowing in. Inland city heat is something else.

I'm afraid this is the main (probably only) reason why I don't live in the North. And believe me the house prices up there do tempt me often! But I hate rain, and I hate grey miserable weather, I would not fare well up North I feel!
I'm south west and this summer has been just right for me so far.

I'd swap happily-it's 28c in my bedroom every night lately. Wasn't fun during my pregnancy, certainly not fun with my newborn!

I am in Hampshire and relieved that today is bucketing down and at least ten degrees cooler!
Have been so sorry for Scotland this summer though - I always watch the forecasts and noticed that they have had rain just about every day, and it's been hotter here at 3am than there at 3pm!

It might be raining in london today but it's still 21 degrees!

I've just been up north for the morning and it was 12 and raining... Brrrrrr

Oh and the week after we came back? Hot!

If anyone wants rain, just invite me to yours for a holiday. We had spectacularly hot weather here ( SW, UK) for a while, I went on holiday to the isle of Wight, overcast and rained every day until the day we went home! Granted it wasn't raining all day, spitting in the wind rain some days but it rained a lot on the Wednesday.
Every time I go on holiday ( even Australia in the summer) it rains at least once. I'm available to hire!

It's funny how things change throughout the country. I don't think that my kids have been out of shorts since the end of May
