It’s SO cold!

ITV weather woman just described it as “remarkably cold” for the time of year. Snow forecast next week. Wtf!

I was just saying this to my mum. It is normally warmer in May no?

GorgeousLadyofWrestling · 05/05/2021 19:02

Definitely a lot warmer in May usually 😩

Windy WIlson says 10th of May...he is an amateur Scottish weatherman!

no a bastarding clairvoyant! Small in joke for his followers.

We can see quite a good deal of new snow on the hills from us...over the Grampians and a bit beyond...Cairngorms I think!

Bloody awful, isn't it? But hey, summer soon, and we can all jet off somewhere warm and sunny and leave this cold, wet, miserable little island for a couple of...oh. SadAngrySad

It's snowing here in the borders

Tal45 · 05/05/2021 19:05

So cold this year - and a real shock after the fantastic April/May we had last year :-(

Wtfdidwedo · 05/05/2021 19:06

It's fucking awful. I walked to the shop at lunch earlier and my ears were hurting it was so cold!

LaurieFairyCake · 05/05/2021 19:06

It's hailed in SE London this afternoon Shock

I've got the heating on !

ApplyWithin · 05/05/2021 19:07

Our school insists on summer dresses this term, no matter the weather. It’s going to be 4 degrees C when I drop them off tomorrow!!!!

almahart · 05/05/2021 19:11

I can't stand it, it's really getting me down now Sad

tiredanddangerous · 05/05/2021 19:17

I'm happy that I can keep hiding my lockdown weight in my big winter coat tbh.

SingingSands · 05/05/2021 19:20

It's the wonky jet stream, pulling down cold air from the north.

I'm living in jumpers and anything fleecy at the moment!

BlackLambAndGreyFalcoln · 05/05/2021 19:22

As crap as this weather is, I am still so glad that we had the nicer weather during the first lockdown last year!

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 05/05/2021 19:29

We had sunshine this morning - it looked lovely. This afternoon we had thunder and then hail. Now it’s fairly bright again. Welcome to May in Scotland!

Is it ever going to get warm??

South coast here. Still wearing thermals, jeans, boots and big coat for the school run. Just had a huge hail storm as well.

This is very similar to spring 2018 which was followed by a three month heatwave...

JocastaNu · 05/05/2021 19:34

Cumbria here. DH has taken DS to a forestry place for his Scout meeting this evening. Slightly concerned they are going to get stuck in snow on the way back.

DobbyTheHouseElk · 05/05/2021 19:34

It’s so cold nothing in the garden is growing.

Oh please, pleeeeeeeease, can we have a heatwave???

Woodpecker22 · 05/05/2021 19:36

Sorry everyone it is my fault. I ordered blinds, had the patio redone and put up a parasol and it has been freezing cold, windy and rainy ever since.

Roominmyhouse · 05/05/2021 19:38

I’m so fed up of it! I want to go and do things after being stuck in all winter but I hate being cold.

AppropriateAdult · 05/05/2021 19:42

It’s my baby’s first birthday next week. This time last year I was sitting in the garden in a sleeveless dress, sunning myself and (not very) patiently waiting to go into labour.
Today it hailed so heavily that we had to sit in the car for ten minutes after the school pick-up waiting for it to ease off enough to be able to drive safely.

Cakemonger · 05/05/2021 19:44

Sleet and hail in Birmingham today.

Elphame · 05/05/2021 19:45

The main peaks in Snowdonia have turned white again and there have been some heavy hailstorms with big stones.

So over this now.
