This weather!! I could SCREAM!!

We always had summers like this in the 70s, until the one in 76 when it was hot for months on end and people were surprised!

There is just such a running theme it seems across most parts of the uk, constant rain, much colder, March/April temperatures, very constantly windy and cloudy! I've never seen a summer like this in all my yrs on this planet, it's very strange, it's really getting me down bc all day there is just no light, it's a constant gloom of darkness and cloud, it's not good for anyone to be under this, not since October last yr, it's strange bc it was so hot on the only 2 clear days last wk then it's back to being quite bloody cold! I am expecting a bad winter, either a lot more rain and/or that and being much colder and icier than it has been for prev 5-10 yrs x

Scorchio in Glasgow today. People sitting out at the bars, was lovely.

The 23rd and 26th June were nice where we are....
(A whole 2 days!)

We're about 30 miles outside London. It was 9.5°c on Saturday morning. And pissing down. I think it warmed up to a balmy 13...but chucked it down on and off all day. We were at an outside event for much of the day.
Even DH who is unrealistically optimistic, put a hoodie on as soon as he got in from work.
I looked at the long range forecast, I think it was due to rain on 9 out of 14 days.

It’s miserable. There hasn’t been a single day I can think of when it’s just been hot and sunny all day. There have been days it’s been warm in the sun, but it’s still been cloudy off and on that day, or breezy.

SE. Wet and not that warm really.
My dad says it will be rubbish all summer as we just get the crap end of the weather in the States.

Actually it got a feel of Scotland about it. There's lovely sun for a bit and down cones the rain. And it's been breezy.

Didn't we all plant up our gardens for climate change with drought resistant plants though?

Yep, I'm in Lambeth and it's a complete piss take. Rain rain rain rain and more rain. Forecast is rain.

Beyond pissed off at this crap weather feels like winter as can't get out this eve due to rain. Am in southwest.
Have an allotment everyone is fed up as hardly anything is growing. I have ended up watching a place in the sun if this is going to be our weather for the foreseeable future....

It’s been quite warm and sunny here last 4 days. I mean there’s been bits of rain. But overall sunny

Sheffield

It genuinely feels it's not summer. The curtains are all drawn and little lights on. My dh talked about putting the heating on and I'm considering putting the heavier duvet back on the bed

Summer will be August and September.

Was wondering the same @Wintersgirl It is bloody cold here and raining. So dispiriting.

Does anyone think we're going to get ANY Summer this year? Times pushing on...

It's rained on and off all day here (NE), max temperature of 15 degrees and we've just had a thunderstorm.

Ahhhh, summer days 🙄

Yep, heavy rain here in London yesterday and still raining now. Going to Kew the music on Tuesday and heavy rain is forecast all day 😫 Going to be a lot of sodden Mika fans there.

Anyone got awful weather today? SE here, and it poured with rain all day yesterday, and is rainy and windy today. DD's birthday party is outside next weekend, and I'm praying for better weather! Where is summer?! 😵‍💫

It's grey and chilly here, not a summers day at all

Feels like temp of 11 here😟

Midsummer.

Weather forecast set to get colder!

I have heating on and fire on here in Yorkshire and still cold! Was shivering in the city centre today

We're midlands and it's been abs dyer!!! We've had prob 2-3 wks of decent weather without rain since last August! Every single day it's overcast and even when we have had sun it's still rained bar the odd few days of nice weather and it is freezing! It's been awful! I had to put my winter coat on today it was so cold, it's just damn right dreary and miserable and if I get the chance to leave this country for a warmer place I am off!

It annoying me because it’s so unreliable for drying washing outside.

We’ve only had 3 days so far where it’s been nice all day. 1 day in May and 2 in June. It was actually a bit nippy this morning - I was shocked!

So glad that heatwave is over. I’m in Essex and the weather has been awful since last October. An awful, dreary winter without any frost or snow or bright crisp days, and then the worst spring I can remember. I think we had literally one sunny day in the whole of March. Like most people I’ve been yearning for some goddam daylight, but had forgotten how much I loathe the heat. We finally get the sun and it’s unbearable!

I have begun to dread the summers. I don’t know whether Scotland gets more or less sunlight, on average, than southern England, but you’re lucky not to get these heatwaves. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it hit the 30s in Scotland. It always seems to be the south eastern corner of this island that catches them. Once it reaches the 80s I’m done. I don’t want to leave the house.

I love Scotland and its weather!
