Why is it so cold?

[Rabbitcar]

Anyone wondering this? The weather forecast keeps saying 20/21 degrees, but I’m freezing! It’s windy and cold. I’m in bed now with my electric blanket on, a duvet, fleece blanket and hot water bottle.

I think I’ve felt warmer when it’s been 11 degrees. It’s so windy. I feel like the weather forecast is gaslighting us!

I don’t like this fake summer. When is it actually going to get warm??

@Lockheart

dont care about the data 🤷‍♀️
this weather is rubbish
hopefully it’ll get better soon

Outside thermometer say just over 15, we are going to a NT place today for a walk, I'm hoping my cardigan will be warm enough, factor 50 on face and neck.

"Don't care about reality and facts".

Alright then...

@Lockheart

i don’t! Soz! I just want it to be warmer so I can sit outside and wear little summer dresses etc

Then the UK is not the country for you. Perhaps a relocation is in order.

@LuckySantangelo35 it is for the U.K. Anything above 20 and not raining and I’m happy

Same here 😂 windows open and fan on every night for weeks now.

The NW doesn't normally get the best of the weather so it's quite nice to see the tables turned for a change

@Lockheart

well I’ve got to factor in other considerations but yeah I must admit it’s tempting!

that said even for the uk it has been unseasonably cold - which is…Erm you know…why a whole thread has been started! So clearly not just me thinking it! 😀

Glorious here on NW coast for 8 of the past 10 days and more expected 19-24 each day. Same in Somerset where my parents are and in Cornwall where MIL lives.

@Lockheart I’m specifically not talking about the data. I know the forecast says it’s 20 but this year for whatever reason it doesn’t feel like 20. That is what is puzzling and annoying me! I’m cold and I don’t like it!

Cold? It's been hot here in Cumbria for weeks now, bit fed up with it!

We're in the North West and it's been like Summer here for at least 10 days now, 20 degrees on average. Gets cool quickly when the sun goes in though.

I presumed everywhere was like this as we hardly ever get the best of the weather, however BIL has just been to the East coast for a week and said it wasn't great there.

I’m in the North- it’s been lovely here for a few weeks. The odd cloudy day, but generally warm, dry and lots of sunshine. We’re possibly acclimatised to lower temps though, making it feel warmer.

The Met Office app has a “feels like” option which is good when the wind is cold (both summer and winter). I’m abroad at the moment and it’s roasting, but mainly because there is no cloud and the sun is very strong. So the temp is 24 but it feels much hotter. Everyone at home keeps saying how cold it is!

It's been cold at night once the sun goes in here.

Mainly because it's been so sunny and there's no cloud cover.

It's currently 14° warm enough for shorts and jumper.

It'll hit 20° later (south coast) but it's about 5-8° overnight. And my house doesn't get the sun in most of it so I'm actually cooler indoors than out

Just because you don't think it's cold for the time of year, pretty much 99% of posters are saying they are! We're stuck under the jet stream and NE wind coming down from the Arctic, it absolutely IS far colder than normal. They were showing charts on BBC the other day saying it was the first June in donkeys years that the temps hadn't gone above 25 I think it was in England. Scotland is definitely having the sun but then there are moor fires because it's do dry and hot up there in places.

That'll be climate change for you then....

I guess when folk have their heating at 20C they're just acclimatised to warmer temps?

I'm bloody freezing myself but I don't expect to be wearing a tiny summer dress in the U.K. more than a couple of days a year. I'm in Uggs and a hoody.

@MyPenIsHuge

yeah having to wear Ugg’s and a hoodie in June is ridiculous!

UGGs!!

@Lockheart

see! Not just me saying it!

I suppose it all depends on what you call warm or hot. To me 25c is pleasant, 30c is warm, 20c is still jeans and cardigan weather.

I grew up in the middle-east though so I've known temperatures higher than 35c.

It's currently 14° warm enough for shorts and jumper.

Shorts!
Are you an eskimo? 😃

It hasn't rained for ages in this part of the southwest. The water butt ran dry a week ago and a we have a hosepipe ban keeping the garden alive in the scorching sun with buckets of water is getting annoying.

We've sleeping with a fan on at night, we really don't like heat (sensory issues).

It feels extreme that the weather is 'stuck' in dry sunny weather in one part of UK and others here are complaining of cold.

Don't weather systems usually move around more than this?

Came to S Wales from London for the weekend, London had not been summery this week but S Wales is absolutely glorious despite the fact the forecast says the temperatures are the same.

So nice that I might have to go and buy some shorts as everything I brought is too warm for this weather.

They were showing charts on BBC the other day saying it was the first June in donkeys years that the temps hadn't gone above 25

It's only June 3rd!

I remember one year in the 70s when we had a bit of snow on early June, in Essex.
