AIBU to be so sick of being so bloody cold all the time when it's supposed to be spring?

To be fair I am grateful to be able to wrap up and go to the park. Better than the endless rain.

I'm sick with the flu curled up in bed with the heating on. It could be December.

i put washing out most days, it doesn't need to be warm to dry. Even if it's not bone dry, it'll still finish off much more quickly.

some spring warmth would be nice, but as long as I get the occasional sunny day (even if bitingly cold) I'm ok with it.

Agreed op, it's freezing here! I took my toddler to the park for ten mins this morning and she had a winter hat and coat. When we arrived at toddler group straight after she was shivering 😭 so fed up of it but I know I'm supposed to be grateful it's not raining so at least there's that I guess!

Quite chilly here in Spain too!

I sat outside with my coffee this morning but with a blanket 🤣 I was so determined to e in the garden because it’s my happy place spring and summer, but it’s not really warm enough.

The phrase 'n'er cast a clout til May be out' (modern day translation - don't plant out any tender plants too early or risk the frost!) suggests we've often had chillier weather at this time of year.

But the long, wet, dull weather since July last year (apart from a week or so in September) has been very trying. Roll on some warmth!

I have a photo of DH and I last year, sitting outside under the cherry tree enjoying a cream tea. That's not the cherry tree that's out at the moment, that's the earlier cherry tree that has now finished flowering.

I and several people I know are finding our skin is getting really dry, probably from all the time we're inside with the heating on. I feel like I can cope with winter in winter but not when it goes on until May. The light evenings make it worse, can't embrace the coziness but don't feel like being outdoors.

it's completely ridiculous. I'm in gloves and woolly hat in the mornings.

yep! I'm WFH today and have the heated blanket on.....

Agreed OP it’s freezing.

Im not sure we even really had a summer last year either.

Still got my wool coats out.

Hard agree. Wearing my depths of winter thick jumper. Hate it - love being warm

Where I keep my horse they usually go out 24/7 at the beginning of May. Last year it was 21st because the fields were too wet. It won't be any better this year but at least the fields are beginning to dry out.

I'm so fed up with it too. Think last spring wasn't great either though, or the one before? I remember it being really cold in May 2010 because the cherry trees were only just blossoming on my way to the hospital for antenatal check-ups. And spring 2006 was also very cold.

Ironically, statistically it's been a warm start to the year because the near constant blanket of cloud has meant little frost and kept the night time temperatures up despite the lack of daytime warmth.
This does not console me when I'm still having to use the heating because it's too dull to get any heat from the conservatory to warm the house through. I've known colder, but we've been stuck in cool, grey, wet mode since July.

There's great chunks of bare fields only recently drained of standing water where it's just been too cool and wet for the seeds to grow.

Even the daffodills came up late and slipped away early clearly fed up of being abused by the elements.

Definitely colder than usual. I always put my daughter in her summer dresses after easter but for the first time I haven't been able to

Friday/the weekend were lovely here as long as you kept moving but dropped cold overnight still. Now back to grey/rain nearly a frost overnight and blankets during the day if sitting down. Agree with pps about agricultural crops (and lambing - so many lambs lost due to the shit Spring). It's been the shittest 9 months for farming. Been miserable for horse owners too. Rather glad I don't have one anymore!

Bleugh.

East Mids

It's my birthday this week and I've had all types of weather on my birthday over the years. I've had snow more than once , hail stones , a few heatwaves that left me with accidental sunburn and also heavy rain with flooding.

I am so fed up with the cold weather this year.

Probably the same year I remember snow on midsummers day

But overall that year had good days/ weeks as a well as bad ones

I remember a spring about 18(ish) years ago when it rained and rained and I was still wearing my winter coat in JUNE. One of the lawyers in my office used to ride his motorcycle in every day and he was sick of riding in the pouring rain in wet leathers.

This weather is getting me down too - we get two nice days (not warm, but sunny) and then it's back to rain/hail/sleet and grey clouds.

I've managed to get some washing out on the good days but it takes all day to dry.

You can all blame me. We had a sunny spell in the midlands several weeks ago so I decided to vacuum pack all the big winter coats and put them in storage…

I am so fed up of being cold.

I was just looking at a photo of my climbing jasmine in the garden last year. Photo taken in May and it was glorious. I can't even see it yet, this year. I think it's dead.

I was actually going to start a similar thread op. It's bloody freezing. I was wrapped up in my oodie last night. I need to go and weed my garden but I can't face the chill. I just want a little bit of warmth
