Temps have barely left the low teens, today has been cool, drizzly and grey. But the grass and trees are looking lovely, the ducks are happy and I'm in my element. It's just warm enough to sit outside wearing a cardie.

Much better than last year and the horror of hotland, and months of relentless dry heat.

It's been beautiful here, huge black rainclouds with bright sunshine 3 second later making for perfect, huge rainbows. I'm obsessed with catching photos of the DC in front of rainbows and the whole family now know this, so will text me if one appears ready for an emergency photo shoot!

It's awful. I am hating being cold. Everything is grey and depressing. I could cry.

RuggyPeg · 27/05/2019 20:14

I LOVE it. Can't stand anything over 17 and I'm dreading the summer, so the longer it stays cool, the better for me!

MadisonAvenue · 27/05/2019 20:18

It's been perfect here today. Mid teens and sunny spells with the occasional shower.

I hate hot weather so this is my ideal. I looked at the BBC weather app earlier though and for Saturday we're forecast 24c where I am in the Midlands. I'm dreading that and so hoping it's wrong.

Loving it
Hoping it's a cooler summer this year

Awful. Planned to sit outside by the river at a nice pub yesterday and it rained so we were inside. How is that better than a lovely sunny day?
Same today. Planned to sit outside with bouncy castle and eat. Too cold had to go inside.
Nothing nice about drizzle and a cold wind.

Delatron · 27/05/2019 20:20

Oh and bring on 24 degrees next week, that is perfect. It’s nearly June! We’ve had many a month of the miserable dreary weather

SkintAsASkintThing · 27/05/2019 20:20

I think this is going to be OUR summer. This time last year we were in the midst of an awful heatwave. It destroyed everything, including my tea because Manchester stole our lovely, Cumbrian water. It was the annus horriblus of morning brews.

In my experience a red hot summer like that tends to have a dodgy one the next year. My fingers are firmly crossed.

Where we are haven’t had rain for weeks and desperately need some!

PickAChew · 27/05/2019 20:22

I'd enjoy it if it wasn't for the bloody spores. My hay fever is mostly tolerable, these days, but as soon as it rains, my entire head fills with snot.

dementedma · 27/05/2019 20:22

God no, it's cold, grey and miserable. Bring on some sunshine and warmth!

AnyFucker · 27/05/2019 20:23

After last summer where I suffered badly in the heat, this is great

It’s absolutely horrible wet and cold. I’d be happy if it’s at least 20c and dry. Last summer was glorious and very unusual for this country and it lasted from May until October the British summer is normally dire with hot days thrown into the mix.

SkintAsASkintThing · 27/05/2019 20:28

I'm basking in it, literally lying under my window watching the rain trickle down.

What a time to be alive Grin

It’s raining here, hard! I don’t love the rain.

missmouse101 · 27/05/2019 20:31

I'm dreading any hotter than 20 degrees as it makes me feel so uncomfortable and ill. So glad has been cooler.

LemonScentedStickyBat · 27/05/2019 20:32

Perfect for me. I hate it as soon as it gets too hot for jeans and trainers.

AnyFucker · 27/05/2019 21:04

Next weekend hots up Shock

Ellieboolou27 · 27/05/2019 21:05

Agree op! Late teens early 20's is the best, breeze and sun with a bit of nighttime rain- perfect

Last summer was awful, what's worse is when you get people saying "the hotter the better" when it was 34/35 Angry I love autumn winter but don't go round gloating how I love the cold and making "the colder the better" statements to those who suffer with the cold.

Ellieboolou27 · 27/05/2019 21:07

@AnyFucker I saw the forecast for next weekend and I've already started sweating 😖

AnyFucker · 27/05/2019 21:07

20/21 is perfect

Find a sheltered spot you can sunbathe if you wish without sweating your arse off

But out and about especially when one has to bastard work is comfortable

BeardedMum · 27/05/2019 21:08

Yes love it and hope it rains all summer☺️

AnyFucker · 27/05/2019 21:08

Me too Ellie...the beads of sweat broke out on my forehead/neck !

TheFaerieQueene · 27/05/2019 21:09

It’s cold and grey. Horrible weather. I love hot hot hot.
