Anyone else absolutely fed up with the rain??

[faithfulbird20]

Is this meant to be our summer?

Yeah I’m already bored of it gahhh

Surely it's still spring? We've actually had very little rain recently so I don't begrudge a day or two (but not a whole season of rain).

We've had such a dry April this year where I am. Rain for a few days is very welcome.

Writing off summer on the 4th May seems a but premature OP!

1. still spring
2. we are still within our last frost dates here
3. yes sick of it and the localised flooding
4. not too fond of the wind neither.

in London, it's the first rain we've had for ages!

It's May so no

I’ve not seen rain for a while to be honest, a couple of days last week on and off. I’m not fussed about the odd day, it’s when it’s relentless week after week!
Plus my garden is currently out of bounds due to renovations for a couple of weeks so I’d be furious if it was actually lovely weather right now

A couple of days of rain after weeks/months of pretty dry/nice weather and people are already whingeing.

Yep, I'm thoroughly cheesed off with the rain

It's buggering up my gardening plans. I have so much stuff growing in seed trays I'd need a greenhouse the size of Wales to protect it all from the rain, so I'm having to watch a lot of it drown. Grrrrrr.

Hell no, I need more - the garden has been parched for a month. One of the driest Aprils on record.

No! We've had nothing for weeks in the south east. Could do with it warming up a few degrees though so stuff can actually grow. There has barely been a hay crop for the last 3 years so prices keep going up and I have a foal due in 10 days and his/her mummy needs some grass!!

We just have a bitter cold wind. It kept me awake most of the night and feels like winter still. I don't mind a bit of rain if it is over quickly and then brightens up but it is just so cold and dreary at the moment.

I keep finding myself saying, Ne'er cast a clout til May is out.
I wondered what was meant by a clout, so I googled it. It's an olde word for a piece of clothing!
Everyday is a schoolday.

No, my grass seed is loving it! It's been unnaturally dry so the garden needs it

Blimey - No. We didn't have one drop all of April, we were considering getting the sprinkler out . Thank god it rained last night, and in volume. My water buts have filled from empty to completely full. I am happy.

Absolutely not. The garden was desperate. I can't remember the last time it rained.

Blimey, it's only rained for one day here, my garden was desperate!

Translation - keep your coat on until the hawthorn (may) is in bloom (which means it's warm enough to risk leaving it at home)

Also used as - Keep your coat on until June

That saying is very useful, even if we often have two day long summers in England!

Eh? Where are you? I'm in mid-Wales - the rain capital of... um, somwhere. Yesterday and today are the first days with prolonged periods of rain that we've had in weeks. We've had the odd shower here and there but it's been mainly unseasonably warm and sunny for most of April, although very cold overnight.

North and its been fucking freezing with enough heavy downpours that I am sick of nearly being washed off the road with the flash flooding already this year. Shop in the village had to close this weekend due to flooding too.

Here in London we had no rain,yesterday was the first time when it rained properly(combined with strong winds).I'm more fed up with temperature as it feels so cold.

It's only the beginning of May. Not supposed to be summer yet. May is typically a rainy month anyway and not sure where you are but where I am, it's barely rained over the past 3-4 weeks (if at all!!). And it's only been raining on and off since Saturday, with yesterday being the first proper rainy day.

What rain. Rained yesterday which was needed.

Just cold today no rain. One shower on Saturday other than that been lovely but cold

Not yet, but can it stop being so fucking cold?!
Coldest April since records began 🥶
