Does this fill anyone else with dread

Manchester here and I’m buzzing for it!

It;s fecking freezing in Scotland still. DH has just remarked that he's had to put on the "big jumper".

BBC weather agrees: "You'd be forgiven for thinking things have taken their time to warm up this year.
While overall temperatures have been around average this spring, there's been a real lack of very warm days. England and Wales had to wait longer for the thermometer to climb above 19C than in any year since 1986.
Even in May temperatures have only crept up slowly with 23.4C the highest recorded so far, in Cardiff on 22 May. In most previous years we'd been above 25C by now.
However it is possible - but by no means certain - that we might just reach that figure before the month is over."

That's not hot, its a normal summer, about time, its been a lousy May, I hate winter.

22-25 is my favourite temp range, so pretty happy right now. Definitely don't want any more high thirties like last summer.

Don't worry we're getting it next week

What? It’s tepid, spring weather at best? I’m in London and can’t wait for the real heat to come. I miss living in the US where it would be proper summer by now and yes like a pp mentioned, in lockdown it was hot from early April all the way through summer, I remember because I nannied and outside time was always the motivator for getting the kids to do their morning schoolwork.

and remember that incredible summer we had in 2018, it was in high 20’s for three months straight, that’s normal in most other countries.

We wouldn’t be British if we weren’t moaning, it’s part of our cultural heritage 😁
It makes a change from Brexit and the wicked Tories.

Wow. I'm so gobsmacked at how low people like the temperature. I can't wait for high 20s. 26-28 is perfect for me

Out of curiosity, is there any other country in the world where people complain that it's too HOT when don't even reach mid 20 temperatures?

Fills me with joy!

Exactly, just because we have a warm couple of weeks coming up doesn't mean that July and August will get hotter and hotter, that's one of the things about living on an island, the weather makes it up as it goes along 😂

I love temps around 20-22 max personally.

23 degrees is hardly hot.

Sorry OP but this is funny. I live in a country where it’s often 40c and we would consider 20-21c pretty cold (and yes I’m from the UK and know heat can feel slightly warmer in the homes there).
This looks like beautiful weather! If it’s in the 30s and up I wouldn’t think you were unreasonable as it’s hard to cool down in Uk homes with no ac.

Honestly cannot wait for the warmer weather the winter was so long and miserable.

It’s June in a couple of weeks ! 20 degrees is perfectly normal for the start of Summer.

It’s just normal May weather. People on here are always moaning, it’s too cold, it’s too hot, too rainy. It’s so annoying.

I'm not a lover of heat but I have my super efficient fans already in use, windows/doors open all day and cold flannels for my neck so I'm good to go. And definitely happy about lower fuel bills

Love it. 21 degrees is mild. In Croatia (where I'm from) average summer temperature is 30+ and it's pretty much like that for three months. 21 is a spring kind of a temperature.

As a strawberry blonde fatso with white eyelashes I can safely say yes, it's gonna be shite and I will be staying indoors with all the curtains closed for a good month 😂

@Verbena17 I usspect that they think you are crazy because whilst everyone has different weather and season preferences 15 degrees C is objectively not hot.

Dreadful. It means I have to wear long sleeves and a hat with a wide brim, and cover myself in sticky sunscreen. I’ll be trapped indoors most of the time avoiding the sun. I prefer the autumn when I can go outdoors without worrying about avoiding suntans and wrinkles.

I can't wait🌞

I love it! Now I am retired, I can sit under my awning and enjoy the warmth. At 24° it’s not too hot to be outside and my house does not get much direct sun so tends to stay cool. I hope the fine weather lasts for a few weeks as I’ve just ordered some new garden furniture which won’t arrive until 14 June - I bet it will rain then!

I appreciate that I now longer have to teach in a hot classroom that resembled a greenhouse with just the slightest hint of sun!

YANBU!
Anything hotter than over 15 degrees and I’m done in. I hate it!
Last summer was an absolute nightmare and I’m really not looking forward to this summer’s hot temps.

I love sunny and fresh or rainy and mild. And I love winter cold weather.

If I ever say that to anyone IRL they go crazy. I’m like well if you can adore hot weather, I can not adore hot weather. They still don’t get it.

Well indeed. Even in last years hit weather we had a week in mid July where the week started at nearly 40 degrees and by Friday it was barely 22 degrees.

Warm weather can feel hot this time of year as the sun is suddently stronger - hence the preponderance of accidental sunburn in May. The only time in my life I ha e got sunburnt was in Scotland in early May!
