Yeah, people are just different aren't they. I don't find the cold miserable at all! In fact a "lovely" day to me is an overcast grey day. I'm slightly on the hot side at the moment and it's 18 degrees. I wonder why people have such different temperature variations/tolerances.

I'm at a festival in Manchester next Sunday, I'm absolutely buzzin that the weather will be Scorchio!!!

Sunflowers80 · 23/05/2023 17:58

No, It's not even that hot. It's reasonable and just because end of May Is early to mid 20's doesn't mean all 3-4 months will be hot. Aside from 6-7 days of late 30's, I hardly found it that hot last year compared to where I went in the med. It's ridiculous, we need hot weather. Sick of months of cold and rain.

Not at all - lovely!

Finally we’re getting a bit of better weather after so many months of miserable cold.

We get precious little warm weather in this country, it feels so mean when a few people moan about it. I know they/ you can’t wish away the lovely sunshine but it feels like it!

I'm worried for my dog

How do you think people around the world manage 😂

Honestly, mountain, meet molehill.

SunnySaturdayMorning · 23/05/2023 17:50

Ah I see the miserable bastards are out in force today 😂

gamerchick · 23/05/2023 17:49

Not too bad for us. Could be a bit warmer.

Love these temps, hate 30 and over

RampantIvy · 23/05/2023 17:43

All those winter lovers, snuggly jumpers, boots, comfort food have had their time!

Yes, all nine months of it.
It's our turn now.

Anything hotter than over 15 degrees and I’m done in. I hate it!

That's a pretty extreme reaction @Verbena17 . I fully understand that some people have medical conditions that are exacerbated by hot weather, but 15 degrees isn't even warm. Have you ever looked into why you react so badly to mild weather?

LittleHare · 23/05/2023 13:36

I'm in the OP's camp - 18 - 20 degrees all the way here. No more, no less!

Same. It’s been lovely here (south coast) the last week or so. If it could just stay like this until mid-September…

Come to London, we haven't had sun for ages

I'm in London and we've had quite a few sunny days.

lyingonthebeach · 23/05/2023 17:36

Fills me with joy! Finally we can say good bye to the depressing, cold grey and feel more alive.

Blossomtoes · 23/05/2023 17:35

It fills me with deep joy. We only get about four properly warm months.

Purplecatshopaholic · 23/05/2023 17:35

I hope Scotland gets it - the hotter the better for me

AuntieMarys · 23/05/2023 17:34

I hate sweating and feeling sticky. I plan to waft around my home, sipping a glass of something

Dagnabit · 23/05/2023 17:34

I’m going to Wales for the week during half term so I’m ecstatic!

Viviennemary · 23/05/2023 17:29

I dont teally like hot weather either. Hope it isnt like last summer. Far too hot.

chipshopElvis · 23/05/2023 17:28

In Manchester and loving it!

Changingtides1234 · 23/05/2023 17:25

Isn’t 20 degrees fairly typical for the end of may? I thought it was. It doesn’t fill me with dread but what it indicates for the future, does.

TwoFluffyDogsOnMyBed · 23/05/2023 17:23

However, the temperatures over winter and spring, as well as the current temperatures are perfectly normal for England.

LadyJ2023 · 23/05/2023 13:56

It absaloutely delights me it can never ever be to hot

Call me pedantic but well it can can’t it? I mean 42.3C is the maximum temperature that humans can survive. After that our cells start to die. It almost reached that temperature last summer.

Cinderellasfeatherduster · 23/05/2023 17:20

Im just grateful for some sunshine. I’ll be out in it recharging like a lizard and I’m no sun worshipper.

SoupDragon · 23/05/2023 17:18

Nope. After months of horrible cold, grey, wet weather it fills me with joy.

We get good weather for just 3 or 4 months out of 12. You have all those other miserable months to be happy in!

Panda89 · 23/05/2023 17:18

Looks perfect for half term! We just got a new paddling pool so looking forward to getting it out.
