Why is the weather so shit?

[TeriblePerson]

Stupid miserable British weather.

I just googled st swithens day and apparently it was last Saturday. A quick look in my camera roll for that day does not look good! 😬

I hate the rain, it’s just so on/ off. Hate having washing drying in house, but trying not to use tumble (environment)

The worst bit is it’s muggy. Come back sunny weather. Also start of 6 weeks holiday here.

To be fair, if you hate 20°c heat, you're hardly likely to go to Spain or Turkey on holiday. Maybe they go camping in Northumberland.

Just use the tumble dryer - look at the energy output. Ours has an eco cycle, less energy, takes the dampness off.

Problem is my tumble dryer is at least 10 years old. And I refuse to replace a working machine. It hasn’t got an eco setting 🙈

Tbf someone posted the other day worried about the heat in Turkey due to heatwave because her husband finds the Uk too hot in summer. Turkey was always going to be significantly hotter than here. Loads of people added to the post to say they or their husband also struggled in the heat even in Uk and listed ways to cope so they definitely do still book the holidays (bizarrely)

That's very odd. I don't understand why you'd go there in a normal summer in that case!

That's a shame. Could you do 10mins just to get rid of the dampness?

Absolutely chucking it down in my area of Wiltshire and has been for days now , fine for garden people say but I still have to go out and water the plants in my greenhouse!

I'm away for three weeks in a tent soon . Give me a heatwave or at the very least 22 degrees + and sun please!

Forecast for where I'll be is mid to high teens and rain for a week. Quite honestly that's relentlessly shit weather for East Anglia at this time of year.

Been raining in Wales since early this morning. This will be the norm all week. Very heavy and blustery.
I would prefer the heat than this.

Try these?

I wanted to add my tuppennyworth of woe:

WET DOGS

that is all.

Nah those are no good, they'll sink in the mud.

It's me. I complained so much about the heat and whined so much about being ready for October weather that someone up there clearly couldn't beat to listen to another second of it.

Sorry.

(I'm happy about it, though...!)

As someone seriously avoiding skin cancer, I love the overcast cooler days. It hasn't been all rain either, as some of my plants have still died due to too much sun this year. I would prefer it to rain at night though!

Snap!

It's lovely. Warm enough not to need a coat, but umbrella essential.

I'm loving the wet grey weather”

why?!

It is my fault, I bought a massive, tacky AF swimming pool in June. Sorry everyone!

Fair point, @YourNameGoesHere .

Your not alone ! My poor kids have given up asking when they can go in now!

I've said the same about the lack of decent snow in our area over the last few years, just after we bought a shiny new sledge.

It's been raining every day here and it is 15 degrees right now. I even put my woollen jumper on yesterday evening.

I don't want weeks of 40 degree heat either though. But it seems that there isn't much in between.

At least you’ll have something to catch the rain in!

No wheat or barley? Works for me (shrugs in Coeliac).
