WHERE is the sun?!! It is ludicrous, I don't remember a June like this for years and I keep depressing myself with the fucking BBC weather app. They promised sunshine and warmth and now they are saying rain, rain, rain. How on earth is anyone supposed to cope? I am going to Barcelona in a few weeks, and I am counting the seconds. AARGH!

I'm glad that the rest of the country seems to be doing better. I keep reminding myself that the BBC app is usually wildly inaccurate, so maybe the sun will come soon. I'm still counting the seconds to Barcelona, though. And then I'm in Berlin. It's just a matter of waiting.........

bbc forecasting is useless. The met Office is more accurate, although you might not want to see the weather for Glasgow for the next few weeks.

The difference is that the heat will only last for days, if that. The miserable weather we've been having has gone on for MONTHS!! I would have more sympathy for the heat haters if it was going to go on and on with no end in sight. Plus the crack about warm shower being like Glasgow weather wasn't remotely funny, just annoying.

Nah, the difference is that it's much easier to stay warm in cool weather than it is to stay cool in warm weather. Nobody lives in Scotland for the sunny weather, and many people don't cope well with it.

So if you are going to make a snarky comment, expect to get one back (with added humour)

Lovely here on the south coast. Going straight to the beach after school.
Hope you get some sun soon!

We are obviously getting the shitty end of the stick. I will cheer myself up by reminding myself that we won't always get the worst of it, that I'm on holiday in a few weeks, and the next summer is bound to be better.

It’s a bit too hot for me here in the SE. Hoping you get some sun soon.

RefusingToPlayYourGames · 24/06/2024 13:08

It's blazing sun and 24 degrees here in the East midlands

Jb2182 · 24/06/2024 13:07

I agree with you OP. I'm in the South East and even though it's nice today, it was literally only 8 days ago I was sleeping with a hot water bottle. It's ridiculous. This is the worst June for years!

sewingstockings · 24/06/2024 13:06

Sunny 24 degrees here in the north east of Scotland. Your area must be the worst of the weather today. I just enjoy the sun when we get it.

whitebreadjamsandwich · 24/06/2024 13:06

25 degrees in ne scotland today

I agree with you OP! Used to visit Glasgow regularly a few years back (beautiful city) and it was always in June … Weather was lovely, sunny and warm. It’s not always grim up there!

Thank you! We are actually usually fairly lucky in the weather here, it is a myth that it is always grim and cold.

There's some white clouds now, but here in Lancashire it was clear sun this morning, 22°C. I'm in shorts and a vest top as the house is quite warm - there was lots of sun over the weekend. The rest of the week is looking pretty good too.

MsLuxLisbon · 24/06/2024 12:23

I'm in Glasgow and it is MISERABLE here. Not cold, just grey.

Sorry OP, but that's why we have Scotland*, so that all the bad weather stays up there 😉

It's glorious here in Hampshire.

*only joking, hope you get sun soon

mrstrickland · 24/06/2024 13:04

It has been sunny and very hot in East Lothian, now a bit overcast but still very warm. You can have some of this heat, its too much for me! Hope it heats up soon for you OP

Treelichen · 24/06/2024 13:04

It's sunny and 24 degrees here! In fact I burned a little yesterday and was only out for a few minutes.

InTrainingForChristmas · 24/06/2024 13:03

MsLuxLisbon · 24/06/2024 12:34

We haven't had a summer as bad as this in years. Luckily, I get to spend some time of the year in London, but this year I've had more to do up here so have been stuck. I find your response very unhelpful.

Taking a cool shower won’t help the ground or the grass growth or the bloody flies though, will it?

People are just as entitled to find it too hot as you are to find it too overcast (/ wet / miserable / whatever).

It has rained all bloody year! The grass will be just fine!

25 degrees here and climbing - sorry OP! I'm in South East England. I've managed to wash all the bedsheets today. It's lovely

Dontcallmescarface · 24/06/2024 13:00

Dull, overcast and reading 18 degrees in the car. I'm in North Somerset. The blanket "hot weather alert" for the whole of England is a bit OTT in my opinion. Just have it for where it's actually warm.

So you think it's fine for you to say 'take a cool shower' to people that can't cope with the heat, but not ok to say that to you?

Okayyyy
