AIBU to hate this awful summer weather.

I didn't realise until I read this that it had been so wet up north (I'm in Staffordshire), I assumed the whole country had been warm and dry for weeks, quite fascinating to see the difference over a relatively small country.

Don't worry you aren't the only one. I've seen mention of this scorching summer on so many threads recently... I'm like what summer???

South coast - been very nice for weeks. Today is cooler though - phew! No rain though.

North here n rain again. Currently in boots n Cardigan raincoat. Hoping for some sunny days.

I'm in the middle
It's a toss up between hot and humid (29/30 degrees) and grey and raining (12/15 degrees)
No in between
Skirt and flip flops yesterday
Boots and raincoat today

Today has been wet all day here but it's the first lot for ages and due to be blue skies again tomorrow, it'll be lovely to have a green lawn again.

Enjoying the rain here in London.

It's just been very...sweaty.

It's freezing in my house at the moment. Debating whether to put the heating on.

I can almost see my garden relaxing after today's rain. It's been hot here for months and nothing was growing which is not much fun as a gardener.

Cooler today in east Anglia. Have been promised torrential rain on and off for the past fortnight but it never materialised in our town. But of rain yesterday but has been dry hot and humid since end of May. Not good for those with breathing problems.

Fab weekend but now very wet, in the NE.
Maybe we could organise a MN house swap?
A week in London would be nice, anyone up for a week in a sleepy town with a beach?

Currently in London, 35 weeks pregnant and for me, every cloud IS the silver lining. Only a few more days until I'm back in my Lancastrian stone cottage where no heat penetrates!

Oops just realised I totally didn't read the OP properly and have been complaining about heat while poor old OP has rain. Have my apologies OP! I will send some of this heat your way ;)

oooh @whenthedragonscame thank you for the tip, I'll give it a go tonight!

Where I am, (Central Midlands area,) it has been mostly sunny for months, apart from occasional outbursts. I would say March, April, May, June, and July (so far,) has been 80% sunny and dry.

So much so that our trees have been shedding leaves to survive, and the grass is crispy in parts due to being so dry. A couple of swamps a mile or so from us, (in the woodlands,) have actually completely dried up. First time I have ever seen that happen in the 7 or so years I have been here.

It's pissing down today though. It's a bit of a relief though, as it's been humid for days and it was making me feel a tad queasy!!!

You lucky cow.

I would like rain over night to keep things lush and green, and then lovely sunny days with a slight breeze

hear hear! It can't be that difficult, can it!
people on night shifts might disagree though

At last an advantage to living in the midlands - we've had a bit of both!

It's been so hot here in glad it's been chucking it down today. Much happier me as I don't mind rain and much happier dog as he can go outside without overheating.

It's pretty much perfect here in S York for once. Generally warm and sunny with occasional hot days and occasional wet ones. I'm going with "best summer in ages" - you have my sympathy.

OP Thought you were going to complain about the heat and I was coming on to agree! I'm in London and the heat is unbearable - We've been sleeping without a duvet for weeks now, and the humidity is making me feel clammy and flustered.

Bring on autumn (my favourite season - fresh and breezy)

This unpredictable seasonal weather makes me want to move to Spain where you always know what you're going to get in terms of weather... Would make planning events like weddings a lot easier too :-)

I think the weather needs to spread itself across the country much more evenly!

It's been the dryest spring and summer so far that I can remember! I'm in the West Midlands, and for the first time in weeks we've had a bit of rain today, but it was just a drizzle, I'm hoping for more. There are a lot of yellow lawns about, and I've had to water my garden almost everyday as my plants keep wilting.

I would like rain over night to keep things lush and green, and then lovely sunny days with a slight breeze- and absolutely no humidity! Not too much to ask surely

(Enjoying us Brits living up to our stereotype of complaining about the weather)

YANBU

I am South East, and we had a couple of very hot days, but sunny the rest of the weeks. Too cold for paddling pool and still needed my duvet at night, but just seeing blue sky feels really good. So much energy and happiness than when it's so grey outside. It does get a bit stuffy in the tube to be fair, but nothing unbearable.
It has started to rain this morning, it's grim, so you have all my sympathy!

I feel your pain OP. I'm in Glasgow and trying to get through the summer holidays with two kids when the weather is bad is like some sort of endurance test

First decent day of rain here for a while in midlands
