Is this colder than most ‘junes’? So miserable

I’m in London and it’s still grey and chilly

Still in Majorca - 26 degrees , sunny cloudless blue sky and quite breezy- totally perfect weather to be honest- but not meltingly hot for those that want 30 degrees plus on holiday

@PiranhaPeaches while I was enjoyed the warmth of summer 2022, we were badly affected by drought and, as a gardener and as well as being aware of the wider impact, I also wanted some rain.

I want sun and heat 🤞

The impact on farmers was also conveniently overlooked during the severe droughts we had in 2022. Lots of crowing about how lovely the sun was. Not a lot of thought for the food chain there either.

I don't believe that there is actually any scientific that "poorer countries are experiencing intolerable heat and people are dying" as a result of this aspect of "climate change" - although I would be interested if you can point to a credible data source. Actually, I understand that the evidence shows it to be the opposite - statistically, cold conditions kill more people...see a recent study published by 'The Lancet Planetary Health', concluding that "Most excess deaths were linked to cold temperatures (8·52%), whereas fewer were linked to hot temperatures (0·91%)" https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanplh/article/PIIS2542-5196(21)00081-4/fulltext 

There are some positives though- exam marking isn't as painful if you can't go outside anyway.

Although it's chilly sitting still for so long.

I'm used to rain in June. That's always been a thing. But this weather is more like spring. Blowing a gale; sideways rain; chilly wind even when the sun's out. Half term was a washout. Last week was rain every day. This weekend has been showery. I get home around 6 on weekdays. just want to be able to sit in my garden occasionally.

Though of course the impact on farmers and crops is very worrying and often gets left out of discussions like this.

I agree. The summer haters have been gloating about the current weather and how much they have been enjoying how "snug" and "cosy" they have been festering under a blanket.

I am not sure how aware they are that food costs will rocket due to the weather. Plants need rain and sun and warmth to grow.

Other areas of Northern Europe have had the same weather as us.

Some poorer countries are experiencing intolerable heat and people are dying. I think many would argue that we have got the easier end of the climate change stick. Our temperate climate means that for now, our weather is miserable but not life-threatening.

Why would you misspell it on purpose?

I'm so fed up with the weather. Generally. this is June, what is going on?

went down to Dorset for our May bank holiday week last week. Often it's boiling. It was really miserable a lot of the time and it actually got me quite down one day.

even now my husband is in Portugal with the boys. it's not even that sunny, and it's warm'ish, 17 or 21, when it shouldn't be anything like that, it should be a lot warmer than that.

Last summer there wasn't even a summer. The last decent summer was in Covid.

For years in the 90's and 2000'd they warned us, don't buy another Tesco plastic bag, global warming - it's going to get boiling. Really? It hasn't.

seasons are all blending into one. and it just seems to be constant drizzle grey and rain, and yet the same time other times we are told it's hardly raining at all. There's not enough rain for the water companies.

But the hotter temperatures suggested we'd get years ago, we aren't.

but it feels like it's just one big bleugh.

I find it sole destroying. It actually makes me miserable.

I keep having memories pop up from 4 years ago with me with a lovely sun tan, looking back Lockdown had lovely weather.

This year has been very wet and grey. So even it's warmer it's not been as nice.

I don’t really understand what you are trying to say. But as you asked me a question and then were sarcastic about the length of the clarification and didn’t address the content, I suspect you are unable to have a debate or discussion so I shall no longer engage. Waste of my time.

You really think out usernames are actually required to be perfect? Mostly, names are jokey. Do you really think I misspelt that accidentally?
Bon journee

It has been a bit chilly. I think actually all the seasons have pushed back by about 6 weeks, so whilst we traditionally expect it to be summer now, I think we'll get it later and it pushes on into October and early Nov before it goes cold. Out of kilter with light levels and plants though.

You took the time to write all that?
Well done

Your inability to understand the issue and your sanctimonious and patronising attitude. June is mean to be hotter and sunnier than Dec. Many people get through the cold months with the hope of a better summer.

Of course people know how to get warm. Hey they do it most of the year. They even know about heating, hot water bottles, thermal vests and cardigans! But they don’t like having to do that in June and it’s ok to complain. ‘Jumpers, coats, MOVE!’ Is patronising, dismissive and lacks emotional intelligence.

Oh yes, why is that?

It's been freezing and depressing. I can't remember any other year I've had to put the heating on in June. Never

Did the exercise of cutting the grass yesterday mean that you are roasting and hot today?😏

Having improved circulation does not make you feel ‘hot’ when it’s 11C outside. That is more like a thyroid issue.

Ha so true. Some people on here are so desperate to prove their all-weather worthiness. Like not feeling cold is a moral virtue.

Cringeing for you.
