Is this colder than most ‘junes’? So miserable

No money to go abroad. No money to put heating on. Struggling to afford indoor activities for dd and just wanted some time outdoors in the sun. It feels like this is the coldest June I can remember? I also don’t get how this fits with global warming… though I expect I am missing how that works? Just so fed up of being cold, for literally nearly a year now!

We're Greater London and we've had scorching weather the last couple of years. This cool weather seems so strange.

it has had warm spells, so hot at some points in the day, 21st June is midsummer!

I’m loving it. Dreading the heat.

I’m sorry people are struggling though, I can’t imagine having the heating on. All doors and windows open this morning, bedrooms already warming up.

Tell me you're not in the n.e. without saying you're not in the n.e.

7c this morning. Even when it's been sunny with wind has been Baltic.

It's unusual. Usually in late May/June a sunny day automatically means a warm day, as in 20 degrees or above, but yesterday in Cardiff it was quite chilly despite the sun. Sat on a bench in the full sun at 5pm and was too cold to just be in a T-shirt, I had to put a hoodie on cos the breeze was really quite cold.

It’s definitely unusually cold for June. I was wearing my winter coat to work in London earlier this week! Also felt like I wanted to put the heating on (I didn’t). You should still get out of the house though, just wrap up a bit.

It's been warm ( 24°) and sunny here in SW Devon. T shirts and shorts weather for days.
The kids over the road have been in their massive paddling pool every day.

Global warming is a hard sell round here.

@CaptainHaddocksPychotherapist I should think she’s sick of doing that, plus it’s wet at some point most days and I’m sure I’m not the only one tired of dodging the showers.

OP I’m with you, it’s been a year of damp miserable weather and every time it looks like it will get warmer it doesn’t seem to last. I don’t want a heatwave, just a bit of sunshine!

Sallysoup · 07/06/2024 07:45

I think so. I've had the heating on and still wearing my oodie in the evening. Still sleeping in joggers and a jumper! It's depressing.

Our house needs a good few days of sun on the windows to really warm up, so even when it's mild and cloudy the house feels chilly.

It was 11 degrees here at Midday on Tuesday. Definitely not June weather. My plants aren't enjoying it either

Willmafrockfit · 07/06/2024 07:43

it is strange, i have not put summer clothes on very much, a couple of times , on my phone memories come up from other years, on the beach in swimming costumes etc.,

It may be warmer but rain more so feel colder.

its becoming a little like a tropical climate at times i feel. The mugginess is the thing.

Turnthelightoff · 07/06/2024 07:39

It shouldn’t feel this cold in June anyway, let alone get to June and feel like we’ve not yet managed any sort of decent run of nice weather days. There have been some odd nice days but nothing in a run it feels.

CaptainHaddocksPychotherapist · 07/06/2024 07:37

Put yourselves in jumpers and coats and go for a walk/play in thee park

I fail to understand why people do not see walking as acceptable when it's cold

Hopingforno2in2024 · 07/06/2024 07:37

It does seem unusually cold , I have barely worn my summer clothes yet. It fits with global warming because it is actually climate change, not everywhere will get hotter, some places will get cooler and wetter.
