Lockdown was in fabulous weather. Day after day of sunshine.

Unlike the weather this year which I think was the point the previous poster was making. If lockdown had had the weather up to now it would have been even more miserable!

That's not hot it's late spring early summer weather. I'm sick of being cold. I keep thinking back to 2020 and thinking how much more unbearable lockdown would have been if it had been like this year.

Where were you in lockdown?! It was raging hot from April where I am, north, and we filled a broken hot tub for the purpose of cooling down, I spent all my time outside and lived in flip flops, by September my feet had straps when they were bare!

I'm happy with 18-20 and worryingly I'm already finding it too warm at 22 degrees. I think I have PTSD from last summer when it was 32 degrees for weeks. I couldn't sleep, there was no breeze, the fan just blew hot air around, I was sweating within 5 minutes of showering, couldn't stand the hairdryer near me, the dogs fur kept touching me in bed radiating more heat. It was not a good time 😂

Wannabegreenfingers · 24/05/2023 22:34

Yabvu, we've had endless months of cold and wet. I for one will be relishing the next few months of heat ☀️

The forexast loooks
Shite. Maybe we should have picked manchester

ChiefWiggumsBoy · 24/05/2023 21:59

It was 26 degrees at 4pm on Sunday in Liverpool. That was quite nice.

No I'm not looking forward to a very hot summer.

rainydaysandtuesday · 24/05/2023 21:58

That's not hot though

What you on about?

MissingMoominMamma · 24/05/2023 21:33

I’m fit, but riddled with arthritis. The cool, wet spring has been shit for me. I’m on a U.K. holiday from Friday and I’m really looking forward to the soothing warmth on my joints ☺️.

oviraptor21 · 24/05/2023 21:32

Not understanding all these London/SE posts. It's been 22C here today and not far short for the past week.
Anyway - its wonderful. Really hope we have a long hot summer with hopefully a few 30Cs in there.

Rhaenys · 24/05/2023 21:29

It’ll probably be pissing it down in July OP so don’t worry too much. 😛

sammyjoanne · 24/05/2023 21:07

As long as ive not got my heating on, its good for me :)

Middleagedspreadisreal · 24/05/2023 21:04

Love it. Autumn, Winter and Christmas fill me with dread!

I'm not built for this weather 😩need to shed 10+ stone and it ain't happening anytime soon Sad

I weigh less than 10 stone and I am not built for it either!

PinkiOcelot · 24/05/2023 20:49

No!

NotReallyBotheredByThis · 24/05/2023 20:47

I'm loving the weather now & can't wait for it to get warmer!!!

Summer is meant to be hot, we have Spring, Autumn & Winter for those of you that like to be cold - sorry, but you can't have Summer too!!!

Isinglass20 · 24/05/2023 20:44

It was 13 degrees in Liverpool and I’m frozen 🥶

RampantIvy · 24/05/2023 20:38

Those of you who like damp grey weather - how do you dry your washing?

Inside, on an airer. Not allowed to dry outside so it doesn't make a difference to me. I do have a heated airer if I need it though

19-21c is my perfect if I could choose!
Redhead with a heat allergy but I've been enjoying warmer weather a bit more now on a biologic injection that works for my allergy
I burn within minutes

Delatron · 24/05/2023 20:32

And Monday’s forecast has now been revised down to 15-17ish degrees which is actually cold for this time of year so that should shut you all up.

Who says that people aren’t coping with the cold? 😂 It’s shite and never ending but certainly not something to ‘not cope’ with.

I’d agree if we were talking about those people who panic at the sight of an inch of snow on the ground which is equally laughable but sadly for the most part it’s just miserable and cold here (apart from a few warm sunny days which lead to threads like this and posts on Facebook complaining about people walking their dogs in 20 degree heat).

Yep I don’t like the cold and dreariness that goes on for about 6 months. But I don’t moan I just accept it. I wouldn’t dream of moaning if that cold went on for a few weeks. And I certainly wouldn’t whinge the minute it turned a bit cold. Such whinging over a bit of normal May weather after the awful endless cold winter we had.

Fluff3 · 24/05/2023 20:29

Love this weather, but its colder than usual for this time of year so wouldnt worry about it to much.

GIorious · 24/05/2023 20:22

Yanbu OP. I have RA and the heat makes my joints swollen and sticky plus it makes my other symptoms (fatigue, insomnia, dry eyes) much worse too.

Aslanplustwo · 24/05/2023 20:22

Newnameyetagain45 · 24/05/2023 10:14

Can those of us who like the cold weather do the same in reverse then and laugh at you for not coping with the cold, after all Norway has it worse.

Show quote history

Where did the pp say they couldn't cope with the cold??? It's not a question of dealing with either heat or cold - many people manage to deal with both without all the dramatics.
