To be utterly sick of this weather?

I don’t love it, but equally it’s better than being dead (how I always cheer myself out of it!) I just think of all the people I know who’ve died in an untimely manner and think how much they’d like to be alive even in shit winter weather.

I don't mind dark or cold if it's dry, it's just the rain I'm sick of at present. Our garden is a quagmire, the fields are muddy and it's becoming difficult to give the dog a decent walk. For the first time ever, we've decided to get a dog coat because we're hardly getting a single dry day. I'd love it to be cold dry, snowy, I'm a winter person, I dread summer, but this relentless rain is getting boring.

Grey and soggy. I'm basically in survival mode until March.

"Like a PP I'm counting down to 21st December after which it gets a little bit lighter each evening.".

If it helps and for info whilst Dec 21st is the shortest day the earliest sunset happens a few days before that (around about the 12th, but the daily change is so minor that for practical purposes we're pretty much there today ).

By the time you get around to the 21st the evenings have already started to draw out...just..FWIW by about 2 minutes for London

Downside is that OTOH sunrise continues to be later until right at the end of Dec/start of Jan.

The suns out in suffolk

The thing is it’s not “cosy”. It’s really mild! I like cold and dark, now that is the weather to hunker down or even enjoy a dusk walk. But rain, rain, rain and temperatures not unknown in August is getting me down.

I thought I'd woken up really early but no, it's going to stay this grey all day. It is seriously depressing.

Horizontal rain, strong winds and thick grey cloud here for weeks now.

I’m a dog walker and I do feel that if you tell yourself it’s awful, that’s how you feel.

The weather just ‘is’.
While I love the spring and summer, trying hard not to put a ‘value’ on the weather you don’t like, helps enormously.

It’s the dark I hate. I swear it got darker in my bedroom this morning when I opened the blinds.

YANBU and all The Pollyannas on this thread can do one.

I've been working from home so much more because I just can't bring myself to go out and travel to the office. I want to hibernate.

I'm also counting down to the solstice - even when it's dark and wet I feel better to know that things are improving.

I'm happy to see the rain after it being so dry all summer and I nearly lost a newly planted hedge. A nearby wildlife pond dried up, but it's back now and the ducks have returned.

I don't hate it anymore than I hate the sun coming up at 4am but it can be depressing leaving for work in the dark and not getting home until its dark. Not a big fan of all the wet as the dog is a pain to dry off but its good to see the reservoirs fuller.

Like a PP I'm counting down to 21st December after which it gets a little bit lighter each evening. .

I hate it too. This time of year is always a case of stick the old British stoical hat on and push on, somehow. It doesn’t help that I have a chest infection and don’t have the energy to stick any decorations or bloody Xmas tree up.

I hate getting up in the dark, then it doesn’t seem to get light all day before it gets dark again. I don’t mind cold, crisp weather it’s just this constant damp that gets me down

We still have a hosepipe ban in Sheffield so we need more of the wet stuff. Reservoirs were so empty in the summer I thought we would be using stand pipes in the street

At least the days are becoming longer again, though. I always feel cheered when we have passed the shortest day, and by the end of January you can really notice the difference.

Push the boat out! Have a digestive with it!

I don’t mind this time of year so much, as everywhere always looks very sparkly and festive ready for Christmas. Makes the dark weather feel a little better. I hate January and February - still cold, damp and dark, with the added possibility of snow and black ice.

Very flooded around here. All the fields. Lots of cancelled trains, sat waiting for an hour for a connection. Luckily there is an indoor area!

YANBU, I don't mind cold, bright crisp winter weather but this ever lasting dampness is depressing me. Even the days it's not rained (which we seemed to have escaped more than other parts of the country) it's just been dull and everywhere is wet and it never properly gets daylight.

I really do prefer the cold and rain. Hot weather, particularly if it's sunny makes me feel a bit ill, sort of disorientated. I sometimes wonder if reverse SAD is possible (obviously the main cause would be different!).

It’s typically British isn’t it, complain if it’s warm,complain if it’s cold, complain it’s too dry/wet, the only reason I don’t like the constant rain is the fields are like bogs for dog walking, other than that I really don’t care

i have a dog, could not keep a brolly up the last 2 days on her walk, i was like a drowned rat, so wet i had to take my pants off it had soaked me that much, roll on warm weather,

I like it.
Its really rough where I am windy raining, darkish perfect for me.
