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!

Sounds idyllic.

Lovely day where I live, not too far from the UK.

The weather was perfect today 👌 not too hot, around 23-24, with a lovely breeze.

We live surrounded by farmland and this weather just accentuates how lovely it is. I also imagine the farmers will be very grateful that it's stopped raining.

Borborygmus · 24/06/2024 21:15

Well OP the headline in our local paper says that it will '... be hotter than Barcelona as 'mini-heatwave' forecast".

I normally hate warm weather, and I'm heavily pregnant, so not in my usual frame of mind. But this year has been so dull! And what about the farmers and their crops? It was sunny earlier in Cambridgeshire, but it got cloudy again before 3pm. It's not even that hot, (thankfully,) tomorrow it's going to be 28°C, which is hot enough. Then by the weekend back to 21°C and rain. Tomorrow is the best day by the looks of it, which is good because I'm watching an open air play. 😊 I'm miserable when it's non stop hot humid weather with no rain, I prefer the summers where it's sunny in the day but rains overnight to keep things fresh.

@MsLuxLisbon Hope you get some decent weather soon! ❤️

Hungrycaterpillarsmummy · 24/06/2024 21:06

It's in the north east of Scotland and everyone's burnt to a crisp!

Went really overcast later but was so warm still (yes I went for a swim!)

It is so lovely here this evening that I feel a real dolt for complaining! I can't believe that it will be grey tomorrow, I think that stupid app must be wrong. I have noticed that they've got a lot wrong recently, I really wish they'd up their game a bit.

Come to Suffolk 😀 we have blue skies and its 23c! It's meant to be like this all week ...absolutely beautiful!

Sounds idyllic.

Well you're in luck then, as it's sure to be miserable again in the next few days! You must have been ecstatic this last few months.

I have lung issues that means the heat puts me in hospital so yes! I have been ecstatic to be home thanks 😊

Erm you asked if you were unreasonable? I absolutely hate the heat for multiple reasons so I can't think of anything worse. It's been boiling here all day and I've had to spend it in laying on the bed with the curtains closed 🤣

Have a great holiday! Make sure you make a post gloating about the weather and how much fun you had when you get back, I'm sure everyone gloating will absolutely support you 😂

Oh, I will, make no mistake! I am positive that after a few weeks of the crap that will undoubtedly be the next months, the people gloating will be just where I am today. I'll be sure to post pictures of my gorgeous golden skin and lots of holiday snaps! That'll larn 'em!

I get that @SoundTheSirens, but I think British summers have always been a tad unpredictable! It feels like it’s only been in the last ten years or so that we’ve had the more extreme heatwaves as a regular thing. I certainly remember grey and rainy days in the summers of my childhood. We used to go camping as our annual family holiday, always in the UK. And there was often rain! Lots of family photos of the time show us all in our kagouls 😂

Agree that it was unusually cold this year until recently. But none of us can do a damned thing about it! I just think it’s worth trying to think more positively about things that you can’t change. Or just carry on feeling cross, it makes no difference to me either way.

Oh and also, climate change. A lot of people don’t seem to give a shit about that, but then hopefully they aren’t the same ones moaning about the weather. 😬

I'm somewhat eating my words as it is absolutely gorgeous just now. Sunny, bright and clear. I am hoping that the forecast for tomorrow is a lie and that it will stay like this for a few days. I'm honestly not asking much, just for a sliver of sun on my skin. I think that the people who have been rubbing in how nice they have it are being unkind and I hope it pours on you while I'm basking in Barcelona, Nice, and Berlin (note, I'm not talking about the people who've said it nice but also wished me well. I'm talking about the gloaters)

24 degrees, hot and sunny all day today here on the south coast 😁

Chipsahoy · 24/06/2024 19:36

Beautiful here in north east Scotland. We had a fab May, beginning of June was cold but been lovely since last Wednesday. Baking today at 26c. Plenty of warmth and sunshine to come this week.

headstone · 24/06/2024 19:19

Finally clear blue skys , I did manage an outdoor swim earlier and it was glorious , the first time I wasn’t freezing getting out.

Sorenips11 · 24/06/2024 18:48

Cloudy in Devon but really warm and dear God, the humidity! Everything is sticky and my hair has done a Monica from friends. What I wouldn't give for a warm, sunny day with a gentle breeze. This slimy, wet heat doesn't count.

You don't say what country you live in to give perspective. Sunny and hot in Scotland :)

Not where I am in Scotland.
Yes it's warm but not sunny at all. And tomorrow we have thunder and lightning forecast.
I'm with you op, the older I get the more I've realised the weather really affects my mood.

I am really sorry but that's like saying "Where's the sun?" in Reykjavik...

Just don't understand posts like these..

I'm in Blairgowrie - north of Glasgow - and its been 21C and sunny all day

Tumbleweed101 · 24/06/2024 18:37

Finally found summer here in Suffolk but it has been long awaited, it's felt like it's rained continuously since last Nov. I have loads of sympathy for the areas still waiting for sunshine.

I'm midway between Southampton and Portsmouth and it's been a fabulous day, really warm with the faintest breeze.

I have come back from my walk in a slightly better mood. The weather is warm,if not super sunny. For the people who just want to contradict everything an OP ever says, I hope you find satisfaction. Seriously. For everyone else, hang in there. We are at least warm, if not bathed in sunshine. My motto is not to let the morons grind me down!

Agreed in South Hampshire. Every hour or so theres a break in the clouds and I rush out to the sun lounger only to find it goes in again and its back to dark grey.

I'm cross. and we've had the longest day so in the back of my mind we have shorter nights ( really noticeable by the end of August).

Well I'm also in south Hampshire - Southampton - and its been glorious sunshine since dawn! Odd that our weather could be so different in the same part of a county!

27c currently in Hartlepool!
