Why is the weather so shit?

[TeriblePerson]

Stupid miserable British weather.

Sorry posted mid rant....

Can't wait to go out tomorrow sans umbrella and raincoats. As things should be in early August.

@omgsally

Summer is June July August … so we are heading into autumn .. We’ve got two dry days forecast this week then it’s back to more endless rain … 😫 like other posters after a horrendous winter I was looking forward to summer .. and we just sidestepped it and went into autumn .. I’m finding the endless grey skies and rain now utterly depressing

Oh wow, that's exactly where I'll be next week - Oban then 3 nights in Mull! Is there anything to do on Mull in the rain? Forecast is for rain every day.......😪

Not an unusual forecast for Mull.

Next week onwards is looking warmer and sunnier, but it's been overcast, showery, bit humid and weirdly chilly here today, and it will be dark by 9pm.

My buddlia tree which is normally by now in full bloom appears to be wilting away, and the leaves on some bushes and trees are beginning to turn brown. Feeling a bit fed up with near constant gloom, and when it isn't gloomy, still windy.

Rain was forecast every day when we were there but we actually had some lovely sunshine when we went over to Iona. The locals kept saying that the weather was going to be nice the next day but the forecast said not. The locals were right. I'd ask them rather than the met office.😀

If you want a nice place to go for good coffee and excellent cakes I would highly recommend The Little Bespoke Bakery in Salen which is between Tobermory and Craignure.

A trip to Iona is also worth the long drive (if you're staying in Tobermory) and if you don't mind very narrow single track roads then I would suggest coming back via the scenic route to Salen. The scenery is amazing. We absolutely loved it and DD was very excited as we stayed in Josie Jump's house. ( If you haven't got a Balamory fan in the family that won't mean a thing to you).

Sorry for the derail!!

@feellikeanalien thanks! We used to love Balamory, but dd's a teen now so not quite as excited (as me) that we're staying there!

Last week of August looking to be hot.

@thecatsthecats 'But I am seven months pregnant, and had a real war with dehydration up until the weather turned shit.

So if the rest of you have to suffer, that's a price I'm willing for you to pay'.

😂

Please get back to us 3-10 years hence when you're trying to maintain your sanity as your DC go nuts indoors at it throws it down outside at 13 degrees. In August. 😉

@GEC44 ooh which app is that ? My met office app is showing endless rain and 20 degrees up until 21st 😫

@Rockschooldropout it's The Weather Outlook website, 16 day forecast for my postcode area.

FINALLY got some blue sky here today. It’s only around 19, May get to 21 this afternoon - I’ll take that!

It makes such a difference.

It’s lovely. So finally get to sit in the garden….and it’s bloody flying ant day. The buggers keep dropping all over me. I’m sure one bit me!

We had flying ant day ages ago - it's blue skies and ant free and 22° here. Perfect.

It’s very late here this year. But definitely ants everywhere.

Yes flying ant day here too in South Wales 😄Very warm!

At last - sunshine, blue sky and around 22 degrees in the South West. Wearing a summer dress and sandals. Apparently it's going to last all of three days!

Dry but still no sun here, the promised hasn't arrived. ☹️

Just one day, please! 😉

26 degrees here today! 23 tomorrow then rain for a couple of days after that.

It is a pleasant respite from the wet weather.

Yes it’s started to cloud over here and forecast changed. One day of summer would have been nice!

Tomorrow cloudy.
Saturday windy. So much for a few days of summer.

It was lovely for 3 hours this morning though.

Incredibly hot here today. I’ve had to retreat inside on my lunchbreak- London.

Incredibly hot here today

What? Like fifty degrees or something?

It was a nice day but not incredibly hot! And I’m in the SE.

Huh?
I'm in the Northwest it's been boiling today .

I guess it’s an individual thing. For me ‘incredibly hot’ and ‘boiling’ would be about 35+ degrees.

25/26 is a nice summer’s day
